    I'm pretty sure 3's are down as well. That was part of what made the final 5 minutes versus the schmucks so frustrating. They broke from what's been working.

    I have to admit that is what I a basing my observation off of. I saw some of that game and some of the MN game-not much else.
    I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

    • They still take 3's but I do believe it's at a lower % of their shots and they're usually better looks than they've had in the past.

      • This year, they are averaging 20.8 3's a game and 57.3 shots.

        Last year, they averaged 23.2 3's a game and 52.3 shots.

        They are also shooting 41% from 3 this year as compared to 35% last year.

        • "I've only seen them play a couple of times, but they seem to be pretty reliant on the three to get everything else going.

          Come tourny time I hope they don't go cold at a crucial time"

          -----------------------Disagree. They have several players that can play the game. I thought as you, to start the season, but watching them is like..........AMAZING! They always seem to have 2 or 3 players, playing at a high level. It's not the top three. It's a team. When someone is down someone's picking them up. They have some young talent, and, dare I say, some great young players. They are a legit contender for the finals. Not saying that but they will/should be a #1 seed.
          GO LIONS "23" !!

              At this point, it would be very disappointing if they are not a number#1 seed.

              • Hard to say. Big 12 is garbage, so Kansas isn't going to lose much. Same with Duke and the ACC. Louisville/Syracuse aren't going to lose often either. That basically leaves the last #1 to Michigan/Indiana. Far from a gimme. The BIG champ might have 5, possibly 6 losses, more than any of those other teams.

                • B-Line coaches to use the 3-ball heavily and recruits for 3-ball shooters. You can certainly win it all with that strategy and other coaches have but it does amplify the effect when your team has an off shooting night.

                    Being number 1 looks like it's bad luck this year... maybe you don't want it.

                    • A #1 seed? I definitely want it. Don't care about being ranked #1.

                      • heck, even a #2 seed has the same advantage

                        • I would love to see U-M get a #1 seed...

                          ... then become the first team to lose to a #16 seed. :twisted:

                            • Nah. Just someone who has fun with such infamy.

                              I'm the sort of guy who was cheering for 0-16 just for the historical precedence of it all.
