Wow, I was way off. Seasons past SR would lose by about 20 points.

Oh well, I'll take that 50 point loss. I did see some pretty good scorers, Bynum and Horton can put 'em up. I can't remember the Miners having a 44% 3point shooting. That will win some games. Reminds me of our loss against Butler. Those guys kept jacking up those threes and that was our downfall. They couldn't miss and every time we started getting close they started making those threes. That's what we need because it'll open the inside for that new player, that has Shaq's body build. He's pretty fast for such a big guy. I think we have two big guys now. I still don't know all the players names but I see a lot of talent. I just hope it wasn't because we were playing a D2 team. The way I see it, it doesn't matter whom you play, if you can't shoot from outside you can't beat a good high school team.

The percentage is what counts, not how many shots you took...and missed but still came out high scorer.

Agree.  Minimum acceptable 3pt average is 33%.  Below that, only shoot if absolutely wide open and maybe not then.   37.5% or higher shoot when you're feeling it.  40% or higher, shoot at will.  Caitlin Clark -- just shoot when you cross mid-court

Big guy -- you talking about Hamilton?

[Minermojo]

That's probably him, you can't miss him he's a giant. He takes up all the room under the basket. I hope he does well for the team and not become just a big body. Most guys that big can't jump, I haven't seen his jump yet.
