He's right that MU is in the top quartile for taking 3PT shots and for percentage of points from 3PT.

Whether that's a good thing or not is a separate question.

The team has a defensive identity but still searches for an - Ace AU - 11/21 07:41:25

The offensive identity looks clear to me. - SuperTone MU

- 11/21 07:43:33

Offense identity is chucking 3s. Late in game over 40% fga - Sigma MU - 11/21 07:42:42

This is what defenses are giving us. It's not some identity - BigSlickTiger MU - 11/21 08:47:39

For most, the more you make the more you take. However - Sigma MU - 11/21 08:49:47

Defenses will change. So he’s probably right - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/21 08:52:46

partly true. For the offense to work there needs to be at - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/21 08:30:50

Once this team starts knocking down shots they are going - StaleyTiger MU - 11/21 08:43:45

Mizzou shot 36% from 3 last season - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/21 08:51:33

New line and harder shot this year. Not everyone can adjust. - Sigma MU - 11/21 08:56:21

Percentages are only down a couple percent - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/21 10:15:05

Watson is more of a scorer than a shooter. He needs a couple - Sigma MU - 11/21 08:32:58

He’s missed every midrange shot he’s taken - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/21 08:38:18

Honestly I like Watson but this board is putting to much - Legendary50 UT - 11/21 09:04:56

You think those 2 slide down and play the 3 more? - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/21 10:17:30

He's also missed about every 3pt shot but 3. His shooting - Sigma MU - 11/21 08:41:26

I honestly don't think the guy can handle the rock. - TheWildcat MU

- 11/21 08:39:38

That part of his game should have been worked on in summer. - Sigma MU - 11/21 08:42:22

He hasn't proven that at all so far in division 1 basketball - TheWildcat MU

- 11/21 08:34:22

If he continues to just shoot 3s he won't be good at much, - Sigma MU - 11/21 08:39:53

We only hit 4 3's last night and still got to 70 - Mizzmi27 MU - 11/21 07:52:25

That's actually pretty average. I'm guessing if you look - tgr MU

- 11/21 07:51:04

Kenpom: MU is 84th in 3FGA/FGA - WildCard MU - 11/21 08:19:21

Like I said, I still don't think that makes it our identity. - tgr MU

- 11/21 08:37:03

I thought it was my lying eyes. What is % made on 3s - Sigma MU - 11/21 08:26:52

More stats proving you're an idiot.(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 11/21 08:29:33

But calling each other idiots is loads of fun - WildCard MU - 11/21 08:33:27

I don't care if I change his mind and I don't think - Mizzmi27 MU - 11/21 08:35:33

Or, the other way around - WildCard MU - 11/21 08:32:38

That guy is more interested in name-calling than discussion. - Sigma MU - 11/21 08:34:00

Mizzou in top qtr of 3s. Top teams not.You're losing at this - Sigma MU - 11/21 08:31:21

You claimed 40% 3FGA/FGA was not average and - Mizzmi27 MU - 11/21 08:33:55

RE: I thought it was my lying eyes. What is % made on 3s - WildCard MU - 11/21 08:29:00

Where can you locate those numbers?(nm) - TheWildcat MU

If you pay the $20, it's on each team's page - WildCard MU - 11/21 08:21:59

Not true.During Wofford I game I looked at stats on Top team - Sigma MU - 11/21 07:59:05

But compare it to our past teams. It's a normal rate of - StaleyTiger MU - 11/21 08:23:12

You're an idiot. Duke 33%, UL 35%, MSU 37%, ku 34%, UNC - Mizzmi27 MU - 11/21 08:07:44

LOL! 45% is significantly lower than those you wrote. Then - Sigma MU - 11/21 08:10:22

45%? Where are you getting 45%? - Mizzmi27 MU - 11/21 08:11:58

Wofford game.Maybe you are the idiot...LOL - Sigma MU - 11/21 08:16:24

How would I have known you were looking at 1 random game? - Mizzmi27 MU - 11/21 08:20:37

Those who are not idiots read a post before responding. - Sigma MU - 11/21 08:23:53

Sorry, I briefly assumed you were intelligent and realized - Mizzmi27 MU - 11/21 08:25:46

Better to be quiet and thought a fool then to write & remove - Sigma MU - 11/21 08:28:03

Literally no one agrees with you here. And we've provided - Mizzmi27 MU - 11/21 08:30:35

Being popular doesn't make it right.Just makes it popular. - Sigma MU - 11/21 08:35:54

The stats make it right. It happens to align with popularity - Mizzmi27 MU - 11/21 08:36:49

Of course when you are comparing against teams like Kentucky - tgr MU

- 11/21 08:03:09

I think if you look at TOP teams on avg you will see fewer - Sigma MU - 11/21 08:08:31

When you have players like ZIon Williamson or Tre Jones - tgr MU

- 11/21 08:17:27

We have 3 guys on the team that shot over 40% from 3 - Mizzmi27 MU - 11/21 08:11:18

It's one of the most efficient shots in the game, so yeah - Mizzmi27 MU - 11/21 07:55:05

Not efficient if you factor in drop in foul shots and gettin - Sigma MU - 11/21 07:59:50

That's not what efficiency means. - Mizzmi27 MU - 11/21 08:09:07

Basketball efficiency relates to overall affect on game. - Sigma MU - 11/21 08:11:43

No, that's not what efficiency means. - Mizzmi27 MU - 11/21 08:14:08

You are a prisoner to your lack of basketball knowledge. - Sigma MU - 11/21 08:17:13

But there are other factors that help the 3-point shot - tgr MU
