RE: MBB beats UW 79-61 - AlbanyCardinal - 02-19-2021
I remember reading that a few months back, that Silva could hit from that range pretty well. Hope my memory's right on that point.

Since there are 340 D1 teams the median 3-pt shooting percentage is the average of the 170th and 171st ranked teams. That would be Kent State and Arkansas, who both check in at 33.9%. So only Jones and Delaire shoot above average for a median 3-pt shooting team.
As you note, this will be an issue for a team that is able to shut down our inside game via zone or other means.
Moss can shoot the lights out. But, I wasn't aware that Silva had good three-point shot.

Silva is working very hard on his three point shot, but at the moment he is not a marksman from there. He's got a great mid range game though and finishes well in the paint. Ingram can actually shoot it pretty well, better than Silva right now. Moss is the shooter of the group though.

Is the bad 3 point shooting really a problem? I say no. Check out these numbers from this season for us.
3-point %: 31.1% (288th in D-I)
3-point rate (% of shots that are 3s): 29.9% (318th in D-I)
2-point %: 54.4% (38th in D-I)
effective FG%: 52.1 (86th in D-I)
We don't make many 3's, but we don't take many. And we're elite at 2-pointers, as you might have noticed last night. Plus, shooting 3's well in a game hasn't always made much difference. We were 9-18 at Utah and got creamed. Against USC, we were 7-16.
I think Haase knows that the 3 just isn't our game this year, and he's guided the offense away from it. And that's fine. Sure, all else being equal, I'd rather we hit more 3's. But missing 3's isn't the problem with this offense. The actual problem starts with the letter "t" and ends in "overs."

I bet you know Silva's game better than I do, but here's what I read from 247: "Can hit threes off catch and pull, has stepbacks and pull-ups from midrange and finishes with both hands at basket."
