In Reply to: Reason We Took a Lot of 3s Today posted by UCLA78 on March 14, 2025 at 15:49:03
shooting a lot of threes since they aren't exactly killers from beyond the arc. I heard Wisconsin's coach imply that would be part of their strategy in an earlier interview. And that strategy certainly worked. Since the Bruins were behind pretty quickly, to me, that's no reason to panic and start trying to do something to catch up with something that you are not particularly good at. The only way you catch up is to get some stops and on offense, do what you do best--and 3 point shooting isn't what they do best.
The Bruins seem to play their best when they have a lot of ball and player movement and attack the basket in the paint. A lot of dribbling and going nowhere out front and then a one on one attempt or throwing up a desperation three isn't a winning strategy for this group of players, IMO.
