In response to AndreG

Columbia has not been a good offensive team under Jones. So it should be of no surprise they struggle to shoot well either. The comments in the past that Jones is not a good game coach can also be applied here. The fact that players (with a few exceptions perhaps) have not improved their shooting or form or production throughout the years is an indication that Jones and staff are not strong in those categories.

I don't believe it's a situation where the Lions practice less than their counter parts in the league. Based on the character displayed on the court last season, I would tend to believe the players work at least as hard as anyone else in practice.

Perhaps recruiting players who are strong shooters in HS rather than trying to develop them in college is the answer considering the lack of success so far.

I expect another strong defensive campaign next year with the players Columbia has returning. But it will be hard for me to believe the offense will be anything but marginally better.
