Stats

[Phantom Warrior]

From Day 1 of the BET

Xavier - 25.0% on treys;

St. John's - 25.0% on treys;

Georgetown - 23.8% on treys;

DePaul - 23.5% on treys.

Could be due in part to first-game jitters. Could be due in part to tired legs at this time of the year. Could be due to great defense.

Hoping we don't have an off day from behind the arc against SHU. If we hit 25% of our treys, we are toast.

In conference games those were also 4 of the bottom 5 in 3p% (SHU being the other one). MU was 11.1 percentage points higher than the best of that bunch (44.9 vs 33.8)

What was MU from 3 in their 3 games at MSG this year?

[Phantom Warrior]

That may be true but each of those teams shot a lower percentage from behind the arc than they did during the season. The average drop is somewhere around 8.5%. If we drop down to 36.4% today, we are in trouble.

[IWB]

What was MU from 3 in their 3 games at MSG this year?

vs Michigan: 26.7% (Michigan was 39.1%)

vs Pitt: 28% (Pitt was 23.5%)

vs St. John's: 40.6% (St. John's was 41.7%)


I know Bangura was saying it is an adjustment to shoot in The Garden, but consider that the team is different now than it was in the first two NYC games, look at our 3 pt shooters then compared to now...

vs Creighton: 50% (Creighton was 28.6)

I took the 3 games in NYC and MU's most recent game and split by two early NYC games and last NYC game and last game.

Chart is listed by the 3pt FG%.
Howard 50% - 11.5 more mpg
Rowsey 45.5% - 12.5 more mpg
Hauser 44.7% - 9.5 more mpg
Reinhardt 38.3% - 7.5 more mpg
JJJ 36.5% - 9.5 less mpg
Haanif 32.5% - 20 less mpg
Duane 30.4% - 3.5 more mpg

Over the course of the season our best shooters, Howard, Rowsey, Hauser & Reinhardt are on the floor more, and in this 2 vs 2 comparison, a total average of 41 more minutes per game.

On the flip side, our other 3 pt shooters, JJJ, Haanif and Duane are on the floor 15.5 mpg less
