2/2 from 3 land yo.

Once again, I don't see the Ulis shot at the buzzer on our shot attempts so not sure if that does not count? It would count if it had went in. Thoughts? If so, 2/3, but ESPN shows 2/2.

I guess Harrison and Booker are not going to shoot any tonight? They must be resting up for Saturday.
 
They have to get open with the ball before they can shoot. Vandy doing a good job guarding our perimeter shooters. That's why the inside Bigs should be doing more. Too many lost opportunities by Dakari, WCS and Townes underneath.
 
Why Booker hasn't attempted one is mind-boggling to me. He doesn't seem like he's trying to get open either.

I agree, but we should at least try to set some screens to get them some looks. Do something...it's Vandy for God's sake, not like we cannot get open if we don't want to.

Vandy is employing the right strategy though. Letting UK shoot 3's is not the way to keep it close, but rather to put it all on the big guys inside. Too often our bigs fumble the ball, cannot play through contact and get AND 1's, dunk, make layups, etc.

1. He's not being aggressive...remember the cross over, step back three...or deep NBA three. None.

2. He's not running around trying to get open.

3. He doesn't have a guy around him that can draw the defense around him, and let him shoot. Andrew does better, but he isn't playing with him.
 
Booker has been open but Ulis didn't pas it to him on the wing. They're only giving Booker the ball in the lane.

Our bigs don't step out to set any screens for him either.

The offense is not geared to get Booker open. No screens and no plays set up for him.
Bingo. And why the hell not?
Hmmmm is all I will say.

they've been smothering him behind the line.
Lachance is guarding him not Gary Payton.
