We do not have a reliable post presence. Our offense is either a 3 or something in close. If we had a reliable mid range game every thing would improve

The new offense still relies too much on 3s

Still? BYU was one of the least likely teams to shoot 3s last year.

...and even less likely team to hit 3s last year.

34.4% last year, 34.8% this year. Both terrible numbers.

I have confidence (or perhaps hope) that the team will shoot much better this year.

They certainly should, if they keep getting wide open looks like that

Is there a stat for taking bad 3s?

If there was, it'd show that BYU didn't take many bad 3s vs UTA

I was thinking more last season for that stat.

That may be true but when you jack so many up

That was the shot UTA was giving them and it appears UTA was correct for doing so

I can think of 5 times when they had the defender fly by and instead

Imagine if we had a great midrange game like the Warriors or Rockets.

Where is Tyler Haws when we need him?

Basketball Moneyball says otherwise. Just missed too many was the issue.

I agree if they hit them we win.

BYU mistakenly tried that last year. It doesn't work for them.
