last week, Beach shot 38% for 3s, which is very solid, only gave up 27.5% from the 3s on defense
while inside is important, the modern game you simply have to also control the 3s, or you will lose and make the game so hard on yourselves with constant uphill battles trying to make up 3s with 2s.
never got outscored from the 3s in any of those games during the BWCT
a lot of it was the tone set in the Riverside game with solid 3 pt shot selection, was teetering a bit the next two games with some more ill-advised, at the same time were clamping down on Davis & Irvine
if the team can channel that defense, and control themselves (uh, Tsohonis, lol) to take the good looks from 3, they can win. gonna be insanely difficult vs. Ariz, it's almost pick your poisson inside or outside on defense. Davis had no inside game.
but we beat a solid Irvine team
