Seems like everyone is now taking the stance we can’t shoot, please go educate yourself and go look at team FG% rankings for this year. Let’s see Louisville, Duke and Butler have a worse FG% than IU. More excuses.

30's% FG, 20's 3pt, 50's% FT will not win any games.
That was what IU shot on the road vs Maryland.
Not at home against NE Nobody State.

You are only looking at one game. Everyone here says we can’t shoot, the statistics say this isn’t so.
 
A lot of our shooting numbers were established early in the year against our less than stellar competition...at home. If you access from the Florida State game on, I’m guessing the numbers tell quite a different story. There seems to be only person on this team who really “wants” to shoot from distance...and it could be argued that he wants it a little too much. We need consistent ball movement like we had in the first five minutes of yesterday’s game and a few guys who can shoot confidently from range. Doesn’t seem like a huge ask.....
 
Smith and Green vs Pritchard and Verdell
Who is the better duo off of 2 horrible stretches in IU history?
Verdell was a better shooter than Green.
Pritchard out hustled Smith.
Also Newkirk may be the worst Senior starting PG in IU history, as a 5th year Senior.
Archie has had some gems left over from the Crean era.

But they score more points than we do??! Also we are 291 st in 3 point %.
