[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 539265, member: 2299"] The problem is with the way the game is now if you can't hit threes it's hard to have any offense that looks good at all. In the first 10 or so minutes we went about 0-9 on threes and about 6 or 7 were very good looks. After that we got gun shy from outside, along with UNC slightly changing how they defended, and we tried going in more, but that's going to look ugly because we don't have anybody who is really great at beating their guy off the dribble, and our post players are good, but not carry the load great. Also, one thing I want to point out just in general. People were talking about how they wish they had Adam Smith back. People forget we came to see him when he was a redshirt senior. As a freshman in the colonial he shot 33% from threes. As a redshirt sophomore in the ACC he shot 36%. Look across the ACC, the best 3 point shooters are almost exclusively juniors and seniors. Ty Outlaw was 33% as a freshman. Cameron Johnson 35%. Markell Johnson 25%. CJ Bryce was 33% as a soph at UNCW. Hughes at Cuse was 27%. Vasilijevic or w/e was 35%. Obviously there are exceptions but it's not a recipe for success to be leaning as hard as we are on freshmen and sophomores. But that doesn't mean they are doomed to always be shooting like this going forward. [/QUOTE]
