3pt Shooting

I said before the game that this was the one area we needed to have an advantage of SH if we were going to win the game. Both teams made 8 3s but it took Iowa four more shots to get there. 2 of our 3s were late when we were in comeback mode and one of them banked in. Our bench, which for the most part is out there for shooting, only made 1 three point shot, not going to cut it.

So...

1. This is why we are going to need Dale Jones. Outside of Jok I think he is our best shooter, who can actually get his shot off.

2. If Bohannon is going to play 20 minutes he needs to shoot the ball. Personally I think he should only be out there to spell Williams in spurts, but if he plays that much he needs to play to his one advantage.

3. Instead of shooting deep contested 2s all game, I would have preferred that Jok step back a foot and make a few of those 3s. He ended up attempting 8 3s, which is probably about right, but a bunch of those were at the very end.
 
We are going to need Dale Jones - but anyone who was watching last night could see he's not ready yet and Fran had the quick hook cause he was a total liability on the floor and wasn't even really mentally ready to be out there.
 
Small sample size for shooting stats. Hopefully we can beat the bad teams and have some good shooting nights to get a few good teams.
 
Coach said Jones hurt his hand so he didn't put him back in.Their young and will make mistakes but I also thought they were fun to watch.
