Flip it = only teams capable of shooting well from outside advance

nobody making the sweet 16 is shooting poorly as a team from outside.

"live by the 3, die by the 3" indicates the team has no other scoring options, which is not quite the case with VT. We can't easily drive to the basket but Aluma and Mutts are very effective in the post.

Over the last 4 games VT is ranked 339th in 3P% -- soflahokie 02/24/2022 09:00AM

If your offense relies on the 3, you've got to keep shooting them. -- 1980VT 02/24/2022 10:57AM

Do teams that live and die by the 3 make deep runs in the tournament? -- VTHokie2000 02/24/2022 1:18PM

It is the best strategy we have. We may be concerned that we live and die -- VTCALS72 02/24/2022 2:44PM

I agree that VT has players who are effective in the post. -- VTHokie2000 02/24/2022 2:07PM

Keep shooting them. The correction will be fun. ** -- st_andrew 02/24/2022 09:35AM

This is the correction, it would seem. -- hoosnowahokie 02/24/2022 09:44AM

Yeah some regression to the mean no doubt, but IMO -- Vippie1 02/24/2022 09:47AM

People forget or werent aware that VTs slump earlier this season... -- GCHokie34 02/24/2022 10:25AM

I wouldnt say we need to post/back down and stand around watching -- Vippie1 02/24/2022 10:54AM

Keve and Mutts get their assists when they get the ball at the elbows... -- GCHokie34 02/24/2022 11:02AM

True, no finish, no assist. ** -- 1980VT 02/24/2022 11:39AM

Mutts seems to pass up good close in looks a lot. Is he too focused on the -- RhinoVT 02/24/2022 11:05AM

He's undersized in the ACC -- 1980VT 02/24/2022 11:42AM

Mutts seems to have his mind made up before he makes a play many times -- GCHokie34 02/24/2022 11:09AM

Very frustrating, with his experience scoring and passing ability -- RunHokieRun 02/24/2022 11:39AM

Basketball is such a fast paced game, pre-determining moves hurts players -- 1980VT 02/24/2022 11:35AM

VT gets the best looks you can possibly get from 3 in the FWIW -- soflahokie 02/24/2022 09:57AM

What about over the last seven games? ** -- HOKIEGOBBLE 02/24/2022 09:08AM

164th ** -- soflahokie 02/24/2022 09:37AM

Thx! Interesting data. -- HOKIEGOBBLE 02/24/2022 11:19AM

Speaks to defense and better rebounding by guards ** -- RunHokieRun 02/24/2022 09:08AM
