Title: Dallas Regional
Post by: MU gimp ONE on April 01, 2024, 08:36:43 AM
I didn't see this discussed, but without sounding like a tinfoil hat conspiracy chaser... Something seemed off in Dallas.  They had by far the lowest scoring totals in the sweet 16 games and had to be worst shooting percentages

Not just our 4-31 performance... Duke is a top 3 point shooting team and shoot as well as us in their elite 8 game.  I don't think this is like the 3 point line being off in the WNCAA, but it's strange to see such high scoring teams throw up duds. Us, Duke, Houston, etc

Yet NC State hit above their average against us.

You are not the only one who thought this - a professional shooting coach has been talking about it:

It only applies to NCST opponents. I don't know what voodoo they've been using to cause everyone to miss wide open shots against them buts it unfucking natural.

Not really, NC State shot 23% from deep against Duke and the Duke/Houston game was awful too

Nah, 9 game winning streak and their opponents shoot like me at the Rec. NCST sold whatever souls they had to some unholy entity that cursed their opponents.

It's the most fact-based explanation I can come up with.
