[QUOTE="rush3225, post: 991285, member: 3225"] I am optimistic about GT basketball because of Coach Stoudamire. He has the bonafides as both a player and coach in both college and the NBA to recruit and coach at a high level. That said, I see Tech finishing below .500 again this year and failing to make the NCAA tournament. This year’s team has the same weakness that Tech basketball teams always seem to have: lousy 3-pt shooting. This is not new. In fact, it’s become a hallmark of Tech basketball for at least the last 15 years, and maybe even going back as far back as the Cremins years (and then maybe Hewitt’s first year). I don’t know how to fix it, but it’s broken. And all you have to do is watch the NCAA Tournament to see how important 3-pt shooting is, even to teams with dominant big men. So far this season Tech ranks 338th (out of about 360) in the NCAA in 3-pt shooting percentage (28.3). Going back (I only checked last 15 years), Tech has ranked 216th, 92nd (‘20-21, peak JA & MD), 123rd, 287th, 333rd, 326th, 269th, 130th, 112th, 312th, 311th, 267th, 293rd, and 325th. I am as baffled as everyone else as to why our 3-pt shooting has been so bad - for so long. We have had several recruits that were supposed to be great 3-pt shooters, but almost each one has fallen short of expectations. Until Tech is able to change our 3-pt shooting woes, I’m afraid our W-L records will remain below .500. [/QUOTE]
