you're right.. forgot to take the 3pt shots out of the fg column.. fine.. so we're 14-30 from 3pt land which is 47%.. still not great sure but hardly any evidence that marquette cannot shoot. there were much much earlier games where it seems that we could not buy a point.. since then it has not really been that way.. like I said, 80 points didn't magically get put up there by themselves. you really do have to give credit where credit is due and I think this is one case where it is.
the team does have some issues don't get me wrong but I don't think shooting is anything they should be concerned with at the moment.
further, one of the things I have been most impressed with over the past two games that I haven't really seen mentioned here.. we're pretty darned good against a full court press.. both teams used it at least 80% of the time and I cannot remember more than maybe 1 or 2 turnovers that resulted. in fact it seemed to tire out villanova's players a bit (towards the end it seemed like they were a bit more sluggish and settling for lower percentage shots rather than working for the high ones). If I were a team watching the tape in prep for a game against MU, I'd probably decide it isn't worth doing.
on the other hand - I'd like to see MU try some full court pressing.. with our steal abilities and high endurance I gotta believe we'd see some benefit.
