In response to Naismith
To add to our concerns, I'd add that when opposition has strong rim protection that Ajogbor, Okpara, Ledlum and Silverstein have trouble getting good shots and thus scoring. Same for Tretout and Sakota who can't finish at the backet.
Last night HC's Coulibaly - a 6'9" and 248 lb defender - was largely the reason for our poor start. We settled for 3's and Ledlum and Okpara couldn't finish at the rim. Thus, we missed 13 of our first 14 shots. Only when we started making extra passes and hitting 3's did we score. Also, we finished with 53 rebounds, including 22 offensive rebounds! We shot under 50%, despite scoring a lot on turnovers (10 steals!) and breakouts. 60% FT shooting won't cut it.
I agree with the above basketball acamadicians. Once Ivy defenses tighten, if we can't shoot 3's and FT's we'll be vulnerable.
Why is Nelson not shooting more often. He's the only 3 point shooter over 40% on a team shooting under 30% (28.4%).
After a 3 for 5 night, Sakota is now shooting 37.5%, otherwise, we're a mess, including Ledlum at 31%, Okpara at 23%, Silverstein at 24%, Tretout at 29% and Lesmond at 23%.
What still befuddles me is Wojcik is still by far the worst 3 point shooter on the team - 5 for 36 so 14% in his Harvard career.
