Easy to get assists just passing the ball around the perimeter when the guy hits a three pointer. Seriously, all assists are not created equal. Ask a neutra observer if our offense resembles Notre Dame's. LOL.

You win. I quit with you man. You convinced me. That 1 loss after winning 15 straight has me ready to throw in the towel too. I used to really like your analysis back before you become the most jaded UC fan. But man, Mick and UNLV really did a number on you. We are 23-2 and yet you seemed more optimistic last year when we were 19-8 at this time. |

But I thought we couldn't shoot? So why are the assist numbers lightyears better than the 13-14 team you referenced that also couldn't shoot?

We have better post players than ND so we still do play more inside out and it works for us. And I was making the point that this team has very little in common with the 2013-14 team. We are balanced. We are more efficient. We shoot better. We Share the ball and we protect the ball better. Its not even really debatable. The numbers don't lie. |

The biggest difference? SK only was assisted on 76.2% of his attempts (he had the most attempts on the team) while this year Kevin Johnson has had been assisted on 100% of his threes (he is second by 6 attempts on the team). The assist numbers are up, sure. How much is due to us just being a marginally better shooting team where our main attempt guy is a catch and shoot guy? |

Holy crap just looked it up and saw that SK led the team with 2.5 assists per game that year. That is unbelievable. We have 4 guys this year ahead of Caupain who was #2 that year. And Caupain and Evans are ahead of where SK was at. Even if you want to attribute it 100% to shooting more 3s, we're hitting them at a better rate and shooting more of them, so that makes the offense better by itself.

This thread was 100% predictable.
When being "right" about the direction of a program or the quality of it's leadership is more important than actually analyzing the team or being a fan of that program- this is what you get. Some were excited about getting this element back on the board. Ok - enjoy. |

I agree somewhat with NTS. The play of the team recently has not been as good as it was. I don't think NTS is upset with being 23-3 but he's upset we have been performing poorly on the offensive end in the last 4 of 5 games. We crawl the ball up the court and pass around the perimeter. UC has probably average 3 shot clock violations in the last 3 games. That's terrible. The free flow offense Mick talked about seems to have gone away. That's not a good sign and I hope tomorrow against Tulsa it makes it's return and we blow them out. But, it has to return to road games too. Playing away from home after March 5th will be a challenge if we continue to struggle to get 60 points away from 5/3 Arena. |
