Mid range jumper is the worst shot in basketball. Unless you’re named demarr derozan

This ain’t 2001 man.

Everybody defending hard out at the 3 point line now so pump fake and step forward to take a mid range jump shot sometimes... I'm not saying completely abandon shooting threes... The Rockets probably would have beat the Warriors last season in the playoffs but they kept chucking threes

If you're more efficient w/ the mid-range by a good margin though, it makes more sense. This late revolution of chuckers have made it seem like you always have to take the 3 since 3 > 2, but barely any of these dudes can be great at it like the Steph Curry's and Trae Young's they idolize. Like you said, these are college kids...most of them don't even have the type of shooting to see the NBA, so why be so inefficient with it? Help your game and help your team by taking it inside the arc. It's a game of percentages at that point and you're going to score more points by taking the easier shot. Sports is cyclical, if the trend isn't working, you can buck it by either finding something new or going back to what's worked over and over before.

We'll get the variance in the second half... I hope...

Purdue only had 5 points in the last 8 min of that half. With 8 3's

Lol, Carsen done for with Hunter on him in the second half.

 

[second2nonee]

Kyle Guy has arrived. Ruh-roh

champcruthik I've been waiting for Hunter to get on him

if they don't call ticky tack fouls on Hunter, it's gon be a wrap for Carsen to score

 

[703 hwy]

Refs gonna try to keep Purdue in it.

I love Michigan but was happy to see TTU win... They are fun to watch... Owens is a guy I can root for when he is playing...

 

[buschfan04]

Hunter has gotten some soft calls against him. Not his fault he has 5inches on Carsen when he drives

[newbs24]

Carson Edwards going for broke as usual... I don’t hate it

 

[champcruthik]

Lordy, Carsen SNAPPED, B.

Guy though answering. Shh

It’s every time Hunter angles Edwards baseline. Happened twice already, once in each half. Both not fouls, IMO.

 

[Chopper]

Wow.

 

[JustBlaze.]

Nah, this is game is ridiculous.

 

[spacedoodoo]

Purdue has to make adjustments and put in a bigger lineup. Salt and Diakite are killing them on the boards and inside.

 

[second2nonee]

Carsen still goin dummy sheesh. Range extended now cause Hunter on him

 

[champcruthik]

Painter definitely gotta counter that ultra-big lineup Bennett threw out there with success. Too much of an advantage on the boards, creating second-chance points. Salt outchea lookin’ like Eric Dier.

 

[206to813]

Great game

Purdue gonna fade though

[206to813]

Carsen still goin dummy sheesh. Range extended now cause Hunter on him

He’s draining em from way out......... can he keep it up, maybe but not likeli

 

[newbs24]

Unless Carsen keeps it going, gunna be a tough game for them.

 

[champcruthik]

Bail-out foul. Jerome was outta control. Not a foul. Bad call.
