The only knowledge anybody should have needed for that was watching Azubuike play this year (and also that 3>2).

I have no idea what it is but the change was conspicuous and un-Self-like. It's purely a guess on my part that it is something else. But it's something else.

:-) Not as much as me. I had the Aldrich abusing Handsjob as my desktop wallpaper for years.

Eh bullshit dude. You weren't clamoring for wholesale changes when Iowa State was bombing 3's. It's because Villinova is better.

I'm guessing you don't follow my posts in the NBA thread then. The three point revolution in the league that emerged with the Warriors was always going to come to the NCAA. It's just a question of math.

Alright fellas let's try to at least lose by single digits!!!!

No I haven't. But you've talked about it here. But Hoiberg was jacking 3s like they were the cure before the Splash Brothers got going and you weren't calling for wholesale changes then. And the math was still the same then.

It still boils down to efficiency, and it is hard to get guys that can defend the post and shoot 3s. So CONSISTENTLY making the math work in college is tough.

Villanova is breaking records with 3s. It's hard to beat that when you're on top of your game but KU is making too many rushed shots trying to come back. Some days you just can't do anything.

Well you can't be absolutely trash defensively (Iowa State) and win even if you take the most threes. It's why I'm picking the Warriors over the Rockets this year even though Houston is far better analytically in that regard.

That doesn't mean that the strategy to take more threes isn't a sound one and always has been, though. You're right that it's tougher in college, partially due to there being not as many good shooters readily available, but Villanova is obviously intentionally recruiting shooters for exactly that purpose.

North Carolina lost that game two years ago FYI. Shot threes at a far, far better clip (65%) than Villanova did tonight (47%) and lost.

The difference is strategy and volume, not percentage.
