I disagree with part of this premise. For starters, we do have 3 guys shooting above 35% from three (Acuff, Bailey, Martini). Pike doesn’t usually manage to land the shooters he wants, but that’s not the same thing as not prioritizing shooting. We can speculate all we want about why that is, but look at the guys he was going after before we eventually landed on Dercack and Hayes.

Matt Alocco was probably our biggest target early in the offseason. He’s a career 42% 3 point shooter and is currently shooting 47% on 3.5 attempts per game.

Jadon Jones was another guy we targeted this offseason. He hasn’t played at all this year because he hurt his back before Oklahoma’s season opener, but he’s a career 37% three point shooter.

Acuff is shooting 39% from 3 this year and has the best percentage on the team. Ideally I’d prefer if he were averaging more than 2.8 attempts per game.

Even Martini, he’s had a disappointing season for sure, but one thing he is at least doing is shooting the three decently well. At 36% he’s shooting the third highest percentage on the team behind Acuff and Bailey.

Your second point about misusing shooters is something that I think is valid. Acuff, Bailey and Martini should all be taking more attempts.

It's been two years. Our offense up until 22 was often very good.

Seremet the OC needs to go. He has an offense that relies entirely on guys running by their guys and plays two guys in Kulas and Kelly who are just pure shooters at attack. It completely bogs down the offense even if that did work. We get no cutters, ball movement is awful, and guys just stand around and watch. It all makes us incredibly easy to guard. A team as savvy as Army on D will eat this for breakfast.

Worst part is our D is legit, we have guys in the middle of the field, and our faceoffs are strong.

This is how bad our offense is- we won every faceoff and are still down 6-1. If we had a pulse on offense we'd be winning this game.

It's not the players. There is simply no offensive scheme outside of fast breaks.

I believe it. Look at how many of the premier wrestlers aren’t wrestling every dual. It’s not always about ducking the competition. It’s about being ready for the title run. Who cares if you go 20-0 in the dual season but have no legs when it comes to tourney time.
