Idaho swept Fresno this year. Idaho only allowed Fresno to make 4 out of 12 attempts for 3's in the second game. The first game, Fresno attempted 35 times and made 11 of those. Idaho knows something here that worked out for them to prevent Fresno with their 3s in the second game. I'm sure that Spoon has studied the film for this game.
For our first game with Fresno this season, we allowed them to shoot 50% FG and 48% with the 3s while we only shot 31% from the field and 28.6% from the 3s. That is 6 weeks and 9 games ago. During this period, we lost twice - both to Boise State which leaded to the canning of CL. Since then, here are the stats for our opponent's offense against us:
1. HI: 36% FG 29% 3s
Techster: 37% FG 20% 3s
2. Nevada: 40% FG 41% 3s
Techster: 55.4% FG 57% 3s
3. SJSU: 43.5% FG 23.5% 3s
Techster: 52.4% FG 33% 3s
4. HI: 46% FG 42% 3s
Techster: 54.1% FG 50% 3s
5. Utah State: 28.6% FG 12.5% 3s
Techster: 36.4% FG 8.3% 3s
Nevada and HI shot well against us but we outscored them all. We have been shooting the ball much better in the last 5 games. That is the key to our success. This is the first time in 2 or 3 years that we shot over 50% in 3 games in a row. We have 3 leading scorers in the WAC in Johnson, Dowdell and Jones. They have been scoring - getting hot shooting together in the last 5 games. Previously, one had a good game, the other would have an off night. I bet that Fresno will come out shocked by our offense.
Go Techsters!!!!
