mivid12 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 18-72 the last three games, 20%ish!.....abysmal.... Quote
MontrealExposloveZippy Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 Zeke has to be utilized more down low now thats its tourney time-- His FT % is stellar as well, so as long as he goes strong to the hole (which I know is not a common occurrence) he will get to the line all day Quote

There are comets that pass close by Earth with higher frequency. I'm not sure why they would, but I'm hoping our three-point shooting percentage and Zeke's offensive intensity both increase dramatically during the next month. Quote
Dave in Green Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 I recall earlier in the season when the Bobkitties had a 3-game stretch where they averaged in the low 20% range in 3-point shooting. Most teams go through periods like this. Illinois had an even longer stretch of games where their 3-point shooting was abysmal. Coach Dambrot has a pretty strong history of getting his players ready to step it up a notch or two at the Q. I expect this season to be no different. Quote
GP1 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 I don't want to speak for Dave, but 18-72 is 25% and if they went 19-72, they would be 26.38% and that is a 1.38% improvement over 18-72. Quote

Dave in Green Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 I'm going to stay out of this one. Quote
LZIp Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 Actually, 19 of 72 would be nearly a 5.6% improvement over 18 of 72. Zipsmeister and mivid must have been psych majors :lol: Quote

skip-zip Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 Zipsmeister and mivid must have been psych majors :lol: Psych majors get exposed to a TON of math, especially in the area of statistics. Quote
Zipmeister Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 Zipsmeister and mivid must have been psych majors :lol: Are you implying 50% of all psych majors are bad at math? Quote
Hilltopper Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 Are you implying 50% of all psych majors are bad at math? In my experience, psych majors are 100% bad at math. Quote
Zipmeister Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 Psych majors get exposed to a TON of math, especially in the area of statistics. I guess it's all relative. English majors, education majors, etc. probably thing anything over two math classes is a TON of math. Getting back on topic we need to start making a TON more of our three-point attempts. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 If Harney and Ibitayo quit shooting 3's, our team percentage will skyrocket. Quote
