And they were 5-8. That tells me they took (and made) wide open 3's and OU jacked all night.
Looking at the box score I am surprised OU was in the game, but I suppose they didnt get the usual out of Mike Singletary and Reese didnt score, he is normally good for 7-12 points.
We took way too many 3's in the 1st half. Any time there was a break, our guys jacked-up a 3 instead of driving it to the hoop. We took what 27 shots in the 1st half and 15 of them were from 3. That's how less talented mid-majors play.
If we'd quit jacking them up on the break.
usually the best time to take a 3. shooter = open, momentum going forward. and, the defenders = not blocking out, o rebounders = moving toward basket and facing the rim (able to track the ball).
There are certain 3's on the break I don't mind, taken by certain players. But Cade took one in the corner, not squared up, and with no real rebounding advantage last night. He did the same thing against UT, but he made that one. He didn't make the one last night. We can get that shot anytime. If you are going to take it, at least get squared up so it has a decent shot of going in. Also wasn't a big fan of TMG taking the 4 on 1 (we had four offensive players) 3. He missed, and I think we didn't get the rebound. Take the two points and go play D.
Perhaps it is because they didn't let him get away with his 2 "go-to" moves. 1 being the forearm shiver, the other being the wild and incomprehensible lowering of the shoulder and just running over people. What clown he was acting indignant after they called him on it the 6th time he did it.but I suppose they didnt get the usual out of Mike Singletary
I remember in middle school, our first game of the year, our coach made us pass the ball 4 times before we shot. We lost by 20, dropped the clown rule, and went 20-1.Capel should have a rule, if the team misses three 3's in a row the next shot (4th) has to be a 2 or that player get benched for 3 min. That's my biggest complaint, they will shot and miss four or five 3's in a row.

ou shot some difficult 3s in the 2nd, but most of the 3s were good shots. sometimes they just don't go in.
