In response to Tiger69

Tigers shot 43% on 58 3 pt shots with a number of 3s' just kicking out. Coach has a number of players shooting at or near 40% with Cannady obviously leading the charge. Ball movement certainly has a lot to do with it although the shooting stroke is just there -- Jerome, Much etc. I am not sure if it is a recruiting requirement or it is primarily a part of player development.

Even though their shooting was very good, their defensive play is the difference maker starting with the Monmouth. I remember that there was discussion if it was poor offensive play by Monmouth - turnovers or if it was the defensive intensity starting to rise. Based on this weekend and postgame interviews, defensive intensity and execution is very different as is ball movement other than at the Palestra. Coach was very critical of the ball movement at Penn in the postgame interview on Friday night and it was obviously a focus this weekend.
