The problem is the 3's just aren't going in. If we would just be shooting something like 35% from 3 we would be blowing teams out and nobody would be bitching about our offense. We can't stay this cold forever. I love transition offense. It's basically the NASCAR HUNH type offense that Auburn runs in football. I am all for pushing the ball as fast as possible after the rebound. You get tons of easy baskets that way and with how poorly we've been shooting we need all the easy baskets we can get. However when that gets shutdown Howland most certainly needs to develop a better half-court system. This is when I want us to drive to the hole collapsing the defense and then dish it to Ado/Holman/Datcher. They can get limitless dunks by doing this. The defender either has to not leave his man thus giving the driver an easy layup or leave his man to help giving up the free dunk after the dump off pass. It's not complicated and Peters/Nick/Q can get to the basket anytime they want.
