RE: The board is back, and the UTSA game thread is gone!
If we can defend the 3, we have a great chance of being in the top 4.
This has been our kryptonite for several seasons...I am convince, in order to successful we have to get better guard play ..period

Its mathematically possible. Just seems reasonably unlikely.
We could get the 4 seed if we win the next 9 in a row.
Unlikely to someone who always expects the negative to happen.
Did not expect a home loss to lowly UTSA. That's for sure.

RE: The board is back, and the UTSA game thread is gone!
I believe it’s more than just defending the three. It’s also being a threat from the outside as well. We had two 3-pointers until late in the game, and finished 5-20.
Our distribution of points this season is as follows:
2 pointers - 56.9%, which ranks 21st. By the way, our success rate of 2 pointers is outstanding - 56.5%, which is 16th best in the country.
Free Throws - 16.1%, which is 314th. We rarely go to the line compared to other teams. Our free throw attempt rate is 13th in Conference.
3 pointers - 27.1%, which ranks 276th. We are primarily a 2-point shooting team. Having said that, in conference play our three point shooting percentage ranks 8th while UTSA is 10th.
For comparison purposes, UTSA scores 38.6% of their points from behind the arc. That’s 28th in the country. UTSA is a three point shooting team, and when they are hitting like last night - look out.

We actually rank ahead of Duke, Arkansas, Colorado, Clemson, VT, LT, WKU, Oklahoma, Baylor, West Virginia and UCLA to name a few in three point defense
Ranked 155. Not as bad as most thought but not where we need to be.
