Absolutely. I knew we were in trouble up six early on when Geo missed an open three from one of his favorite spots. When that ball clanged off the back of the rim, I knew Geo was still not right, even though he had made a three from longer range. A good shooter needs to hit those shots as Maryland did all afternoon. It's bad enough when we take ill-time shots, but when the kid's are open they need to knock those shots down. And if they're having trouble hitting threes then they need to move inside the lines and hit make-able two's.
I consider squaring feet to the basket part of the process. Yes shoulders need to be square and is more important to your point. Less athletic guys who aren’t great shooters have trouble getting shoulders square if their feet aren’t set.
These are problems with basic shooting fundamentals. Players who are good shooters master those. Players who don't are bad shooters who miss wide open shots.
Don’t disagree but even bad shooters can hit a higher percentage if they have some discipline
I saw a bunch in the stretch where we were bitch slapped. Just couldn’t make them and then a ridiculous stretch of turnovers.
They missed a lot of shots that an average Big Ten team would make or Rutgers would have made in the beginning of the year.
We definitely miss more 10 footers than most other teams. All the nifty moves don't mean much if you can't make the shot. These look like normal jumpers not adjusted shots. Doesn't seem to matter who takes them either.
And if you see pregame warmups and monitor our outside shooting, we aren’t even good shooters then.
