Your first point is good. I like that the team does not have to rely on the 3...or at least not last night. I do wish they were able to do something to create some 3 opportunities for the shooters though. Credit to St Mary’s, but need to find a way to create some good looks.
I don’t love the idea of the bigs taking the majority of the 3s, but in every case I believe it was open and in the flow of the offense...so a good shot, just not the best person shooting them. And I gotta believe that some of those are going to begin falling. Especially since the form looks pretty good.
