If you don't have good shooters then yes you might not want to take that many but the way we shoot, we are ok.
and the VMI defense, as has anyone else who has run the same type of system they do, has been known for 3 years now that they will give you high percentage two point shots and will foul you with regularity if you go to the basket...

Is VMI complaining about our FT's seems like quite a difference...

I think a team that jacks up that many 3 pointers is used to not being at the FT line as much.

OK...let's get some of the starters out and give them a break. Game over.

I agree that they give up easy shots sometimes but they are playing a little different than they have the past 2 years.

I think for it to be over against VMI you'd have to be up by 30 or so.

I would say that against any other team. Too soon against VMI.

17 boards for Smith.

A 20-20 night is within the realm of possibility for Smitty!

Liberty is doing a great job on Kenon and Gabriel from the stats. Those guys usually shoot better than this.

I agree that they give up easy shots sometimes but they are playing a little different than they have the past 2 years.
they are still allowing teams to shoot well over 50% against them on two point shots, 55.98% to be exact. last year it was 57.03%. This year they are allowing 19.0 free throw attempts, last year 20.1. so the difference is marginal at best...
