Auburn, after making first 4 three pointers, went just 5 for 30 the rest of the way

I could get 4 guys off this board and we could hit 5 of 30....

They shot 39% the first half and just a little over 12% the second half from the three point line.

Just turn those three point numbers to 5 for us and 6 for them, and Kentucky wins by 25.

It happened to Kentucky earlier in the season. You hit a couple of 3's early on and you start shooting too many.

Well they fell in love early and suffered heartache.

We improved dramatically with closeouts as the game progressed but they did miss a few wide open threes. They really are not a good 3 point shooting team, they just found some fools gold and tried to take it to the bank.

Jacking threes in college basketball is a fool’s strategy. This is PlayStation basketball, based on a simpleton’s view of expected outcome.

The question is did WE rebound those 25 misses??

I mentioned in the game thread that it was amazing that Auburn is successful with this brand of basketball.

They basically chuck 3 pointers....that is all.

While I’m sure it’s exciting when they are going in....

Heck JM it excited me when they didn't go in!

Auburn is pretty damn good, but would be in big trouble if their threes aren't falling.
