The 3pt shot is changing the game

Except defense & rebounding still win games. Ask Pope that too.

Last I checked, 3 is still 50% more than 2. Maybe the gov. changed it, though.

I actually agree with this controversial take. eFG% and PPP are what really matters and a good 3-point shooting team is

Agreed to some extent. A stingy defense will also keep them in a lot of games

I completely agree with this. Hot 3 point shooting alone doesn't always mean a

Stat geeks I've read say offensive firepower is the best predictor of tournament

Far easier to find talented 6’2 guys than a talented 7’ guy

If I’m an underdog I’d rather be heavy on 3-point shooting. If I’m the favorite I’d rather not. Just more variance w/ 3s

Makes sense. Oh wait TJ went 2-14 in his last game and lost 51-50. Live by the 3

Sure. But that team could get hot from 3 and beat a top team like Gonzaga.

we didn’t just beat Gonzaga with 3pt shooting, we matched them with points in..

Okay. But defense & depth are the grist of deep tourney runs.

You could say that about all team's strengths.

Unless your strength is incredible depth

icecougar

I would say that means no go-to player to carry you.

ochobeeguy

2/24/21 11:02am

That's a factor that's entirely irrelevant to depth.

SinkingQuffa

Which means you don’t need one single player to carry you...

I will forever have PTSD from BYU not playing the tournament last year.
