Hit 3’s. Win.
The way the Cougars shoot inside the arc, I'm not sure I want to see anything but a 3-point shot with this group. (For the record, I prefer a different offense than the one we are seeing). I do credit the defense tonight, I thought it was excellent along with the rebounding.Yes. Live by the 3 ball. Die by the 3 ball. A helluva way to design an offense.
Good to win though. It beats the alternative.
I see that our adjusted defense per Ken Pomeroy has moved up to #62 ranked. Not very impressive.The way the Cougars shoot inside the arc, I'm not sure I want to see anything but a 3-point shot with this group.

Nice finish to the game....an 8-0 run. Good to see Powell and Jakimovski assert themselves and shoot with confidence. Houinsou had some nice minutes, too, and should probably be playing more minutes in every game over Darling at this point.

They’re not pathetic, they’re a middle of the pac-12 conference team.
Closer to the bottomThey’re not pathetic, they’re a middle of the pac-12 conference team.
I can think of something more pathetic …Any pressure at all they fold
Kinda same problem with Coug raid air raid offenses through. You can’t run the ball at all you are gonna have defenders clogging passing lanes forcing your QB to have a slim margin of error.The way the Cougars shoot inside the arc, I'm not sure I want to see anything but a 3-point shot with this group.

You can’t get the ball inside and score 1:1 in bball your perimeter shooters will have hands in their face all game. Open looks against ASU seemed more about lazy defense and poor rotation for me. Great they knocked them down but you aren’t getting open looks all game like that very often.

Smith and bone have not got the pg that can’t close out a game and break down a defense and dish . It is the one position either smith doesn’t think is necessary or just hasn’t found the right oneLet’s also not forget about the rumored return of Dishon Jackson. Having him back, even in a limited capacity, will help to free up Gueye inside.

If you look around the conference and the rest of college basketball, you will find fewer teams with that kind of traditional point guard these days. So Smith isn't alone. Like Mik said, Myles Rice is probably the closest to a pure point guard that we've had in several years.....maybe since Reggie Moore....but unfortunately was not able to play this year.Smith and bone have not got the pg that can’t close out a game and break down a defense and dish .
