It takes a team effort! We don’t have a #1 guy in any category, but we can beat any team in this league when all 5 guys are clicking

And we have a fan base with a chip on its shoulder that if and when we all show up to Washington DC in March could be that extra push of support this team needs to finally get over the top.  

[Chris Datres]

There’s no far and away best team this year which always makes for a fun conference tournament.  Once we get there, I’ll be eager to see what the ‘experts’ post for championship odds.

Like Charleston last year (and this) the sum of our whole is greater than the parts. But it’s a heck of a lot easier winning 3 games in 3 days with a guy who can give up 20+ those nights 

[Tiger93]

I know 3-pt shooting percentage can be random and there is an element of make or miss luck, but I still think our opponents 3-pt shooting percentage of .246 (35-142) in conference play is the most impressive stat of the year so far. It is especially impressive since we have faced four of the best 3-pt shooting teams in conference play so far, and we are No. 2 on that list. We have the best differential in 3-pt pct (.368) to 3-pt pct against (.246) in conference play at +.122. 

Another way to translate it is we have scored 180 points in conference play off three-points and our opponents have scored 105, which puts us at +75. I am still working on the full conference breakdown, but I would have never predicted what a huge advantage this would be for us. 

Attached is our opponent's game-by-game 3pt FG pct. breakdown.

Semi - agree (for once ?) love to have that semi-automatic goto guy (usually a grd at mid major) …for tournament-time.   But; if you tell me Tark, May, and Dwill keep progressing (front court aside , which I love ) ….. LFG; who should we be scared of ?  Make / miss tournament/ league / game - but I KNOW 💯 we will defend and rebound .   We getting sneaky good!  Even you gotta (albeit half) smile !     Now FUKK NORTHEASTERN

Maybe it’s because our rims are uneven?!  I joke, sort of. 
it is random-ish. We hedge and over rotate a lot. That can lead to some open threes. This is a stat I would expect to get closer to average as play goes on
