Our FG% and FT% is bottom half of the conference. Where was our NET and RPI going into conference play last year when we started 11-0 and that was with the leagues worst 3p% and FT%.

Look at our last several years. We win 9,10,11 games going into conference play and everyone is optimistic. It's the same story every year.
One of our big problems on shooting 3-pointers is WHO is shooting them. Two years ago, DJ Jeffries was 3rd on the team in attempts behind Molinar and Shak Moore. Jeffries shot 29.3%. Last year Jeffries led the team in attempts while shooting 27.2%. This year Jeffries is second in attempts while shooting 23.8%. At what point does Jeffries realize he isn't a three-point shooter and should reduce his volume? Also, Cam Matthews is shooting 6 for 49 last season and this season combined (almost 1 attempt per game). If you are shooting 12.2% on three-pointers I don't think you should shoot any at all. And that is possible because Tolu had zero attempts last season and Bell has zero attempts this season.
