I was so embarrassed to watch last nights game and throwing so many things at my TV after easy misses.
Thinking that these players can't hit the side of a barn with their noses an inch away from the barn!!
I asked myself what are these guys practicing on non-game days instead of shooting...rebounding? ...defense?
Are we that bad shooting the ball?
I looked up shooting percentages from previous teams/coaches and found it interesting that Pike's teams are not too different than our previous coaches (but, last 4-yr decline has been BAD)...Not accounting for the caliber of teams they played or if they made it to the NCAAs
