I'm a lot more concerned with the guy in that picture who won't be on the court today than the one who will be there.

Our 227th ranked three point shooting (33.2%) needs to show better today to keep us in the game. If not, we're looking at about 50 points, again.

That's not going to change, unfortunately. This team's strength isn't outside shooting. To think that OSU is going to suddenly go 10-12 from three point range is kind of ridiculous, IMO.

We don't need to go 10-12. We just need to be good enough from out there to keep defenses honest so they can't just crash down on Sully without fear.

Yep, that would be ridiculous. It's almost as ridiculous as putting those words into someone's mouth and then criticizing them. :roll1:

There's a far cry between 33% and 83%. The only person tossing out extremes is you.

Some days the Bucks are a 25% team from the arc and on others they're a 40% team. I was suggesting they approach the latter today because Sparty is tougher inside than most of our other opponents.

So the Buckeyes shooting 40% from three point range gives them a better chance of winning than if they shoot 25%? Thanks for the heavy-hitting analysis. And congrats--you've attempted to get more mileage out of looking up one stat than anyone in the history of BP. :lol:

It's an alarming stat though. Hard to believe it's been that huge of a drop off, but it happens when you lose a 3-point sniper like Diebs and a great all around player in Lighty
