Not at all sure if it is coaching or poor players. But it is true that once we got up 9 we stopped doing what got us up 9.
This is the problem, we shoot 80% from 3 to build our lead, which opens up wide open layups by MW and Childress who are not so good at layups, especially if contested. Then we go 0-6 from 3, 2 of those were bad because they were forced by the shot clock running down.
We have our 3pt shooters (Crawford 36%, Woods 40%, Chilldress 40% and MW 44%) out of those you should be able to make an open shot with the game on the line.
Sarr's 3pt was the LD shot of 'you are open for a reason'.
Season 3PT %s or ACC play only?
With 2 seconds on the shot clock we had Sarr and Childress in a locked-down double team behind the NBA 3 point line. Sarr had zero awareness of the shot clock, backed off Farrell, game over.
Leading up to that, after Woods took a forced fade-away jumper down 5 during Notre Dame's run, we took 5 consecutive uncontested 3's. Of course we went 0 for 5 on them (Chill missed 2, Sarr 1, Craw 1, Brown 1).
Statistically, we could have run the shot clock down to 1 on each possession and tossed a shot from half court and done better. And this is ignoring the 0% from deep, 6 point performance Crawford vomited up.
It'd be hard to believe if it wasn't routine for us. I was watching with a buddy and right before tip I told him we'd keep it close till the end but Farrell would bury us because we have no clutch players. Unreal.
Sorry kenpom hadn't updated. Now 349 out of 351.
Score 2 points in 8 minutes to blow a double digit lead. ND hits a crazy 3 to take a 3 point lead with 4 seconds left. We inbound, push, hit the 3 to tie, but our clock keeper didn't start the clock. We can't inbound the ball, so Chill tries to throw it off the defender, but the defender just catches the ball.
You seriously can't make this shit up.
Season 3PT %s or ACC play only?
Crawford 36%, Woods 40%, Chilldress 40% and MW 44%
in the ACC 38%, 40%, 37%, 43% (Chaundee is 42% in conference)
So about the same.
Inept coaching and a roster loaded with anti-clutch players is a powerful cocktail of shittiness.
Done with Manning, he is a stubborn clown
What are the percentages in the last 5 minutes of games?
They played man most of the 2nd half. We got easy looks against the zone in the 1st half. We were 4 guard most of the 16-2 run by them-no Doral. Unless he was hurt, we needed him & another big.
