Not surprisingly, we dropped 2 of 3 and had to scrape by in the other game against an inferior opponent. Frankly, I don’t have a good answer for why it’s happening. I felt we got good looks against UNC and VT. They just didn’t go in. FSU made things a bit more difficult, but even then I felt like the shots we got weren’t atypical shots for us. The only exception was that Thornton shot a lot more than normal. But even ignoring that, the main 3 point threats have all been well off of late. Whatever it is, we need to get the mojo back.
