Our guys play a game of "hot potato." Have to get rid of the ball ASAP by launching a 3. OMG! we've had the ball for 4 seconds, shoot! shoot! Yeah, you're close enough at 25 feet...shoot it!
Never mind we have a nice lead and the clock is our friend. Never mind that we can always launch a 3 anytime during the shot clock. What's this, only a few seconds have run off...shoot the damn thing, quick! Never mind that with just a little patience Lofton or Gordon or someone else will work open for a much better shot...launch it, baby!
Meanwhile Konkol watches in utter cluelessness from the sideline...
Dawgs were a perfect 7 of 7 from the FT line, 100% baby! Of course, launching 3's from the parking lot usually means you won't get fouled very much and go to the line. USM hit 79% (11 of 14) from the FT line. Even on an "off night" a Division I team should shoot 70%+.
