In response to SRP
It was good that the Tigers got off many 3 pointes. Some of it was due to better ball movement and some of it was a function of just pulling the trigger and shooting the basketball when open. Stephens has been hesitant to pull the trigger with wide open 3pt shots in prior games. The other part of the equation is that the Tigers have enough 3 pt shooters other than Cannady but they have almost deferred to the big 3. It certainly helps to have wide open 3s vs contested 3s' as Savage commented that Cannady hitting a wide open 3 is like a lay up.
How hard and how well you play defense will correlate to a lower shooting % over time -- control what you can control. Unfortunately, opposing teams continue to shoot FTs at 80% which is pretty wild but hopefully, the BB Gods will even it out by the end of the season.
Tigers, especially freshman and Brennan, are loose with the ball in their hands.
