Gotta find a way to make 7 threes a game

We like to drive the ball to the point of running over everyone,
A spot up Jumper or a clean 3 is valuable. But Cal yells at them every time they do it. And teams just play super back on us because they know we will not put on the breaks and pull up. CHARGE CHARGE bump hard make a lay up bump hard miss then charge again sigh

They play back on us and we still can’t make them on a consistent basis.
 
We did NOT beat Arkansas because we hit 8 3's. In fact, move everyone of those 8 baskets 2' closer and make them long 2's and we still win.
We were down 11-0 to start partly because 3 of our first 4 attempted shots were 3's. We NEED to establish the inside game, and then that will free up some open looks from 3 (making those 35-40% shots instead of 25-30% shots).

We only made 4 3's in our 10 point win over Alabama.

We beat Arkansas because:
1) after the first 3 minutes, we owned the glass (45 to 21 the last 37 minutes)
2) we took care of the ball, especially in the 2nd half (11 TOs, just 3 in 2nd half 2 of which were in the final 3 minutes when the game was decided)
and 3) we scored well INSIDE.

THIS.

I can't believe how some people can watch a game and not realize WHY we won.

We didn't win because of our proportion of 2s and 3s taken.

We won because we rebounded 50% of our misses and took care of the ball. Period.

Knocking down 85% of our free throws didn't hurt either.
 
The key is not to suffer a massive deficit from 3 they should win boards and FTs darn near every game

I dont mind the right guys shooting them though with Knox and Green and occasional three by SGA and Gabriel
