Ouch. Not a good mid season conference stretch.
Hopefully they can win the next 4.

I'd be shocked if they win at Rutgers

We should not fret, the younger Underachiever will figure out a basketball strategy to get the team out of its funk.

at least I haven't seen people going around calling him "Daddy Brad"

Braddy? Lol. I like that better.
Braddy has been too calm and nice lately.
We need him to turn into a raging asshole again like he was several years ago. Team will start winning again.

The goal now has to be get healthy and get back to some cohesion and make a run towards the best seed we can get. Big Ten is out the window, obviously.

So just rolling the ball out doesn’t always work, huh?

Bingo

@Minnesota is no guarantee either. Gophers aren't looking like pushovers these days. 4-2 in their last 6.
-
I hate to say this but KJ has begun to show the freshman decision making, and hell he ain't even truly a freshman, he should not be doing some of things like he did tonight.
Our record could get really ugly if we don't find that proverbial light switch soon and find a way to keep the lights on for good.

The gophers haven't beaten us since 2020 rolled around. If we're still sick we need to get healthy.
Nonetheless, pressure us at the 3 point line but let us shoot contested 3's.
Create turnovers, which doesn't seem to require a lot of work, and score off of the turnovers.
Get to the free shot line and make them.
Genesis Bryant is shooting 37.5% from 3 on 112 attempts for the women's team. And 41% in conference. Suit her up for Saturday.

We moved into the 300's for 3 point shooting fg percentage. 311th out of 355 teams.

That could be illegal

I don't care. Take it to court. 😂😂
Give her a haircut and put her in AJ Redd's jersey.,

DGL has the flu apparently and is likely out tomorrow. Tomi might give it a go.

Are we really that "much" better than what we had. Shooting wise, yes and no. We take a lot, we make more than we used too, but we also get intangible play/talent that overall is far better than what we had. That said, we "should" keep taking the ball inside. I think BU is missing the boat here in failing to recognize that is our strength NOT 3's as much as he wants to shoot them. If he were to revert back to the inside game this year, I think we go further than the keep shooting them philosphy.

Nationally, we're 5th in 3pt attempts per game at 30.9.
Nationally, we're 319th out of 355 in 3 pt percentage at .307
We're dead last in conference games in percentage at 27.6. Washington, at #17, shoots 3's at a 30.8% clip.
Underwood doesn't appear to have an issue with those numbers.

The analytics say we are built for march

Can't argue with anything Hummel is saying here. Ouch, last in the big ten in threes. 2-4 could turn into 4-8.

Using just raw shooting stats is a little misleading. We take some shots we normally wouldn’t take because we get a high percentage of rebounds that can turn into baskets. So the effective percentage is higher than 27. This latest slump really cratered the numbers and definitely requires adjustment to strategy, namely what I’ve been saying for a month that we need to eliminate the contested threes and work those possessions through the post.
