I was planning on following up my post from last night regarding the poor 3-pt shooting from Pac-12 teams with a counterpoint showing the winning teams these last two days do not depend on 3-pt shooting as much (ex: Baylor only attempted four 3-pt shots all game long), but this game we were awful from everywhere on the court.
My sliver of hope is that we played this way because we were expected to win against Missouri State. Against Notre Dame, they are the heavy favorites, especially after our performance this afternoon. Maybe...we'll play looser because we are not expected to win...but I am not holding my breath.
I think we need a little more brashness and confidence in ourselves. We have a collection of All-Americans and all of these players have tasted great success in their careers, both on a personal and team level, play with confidence of a #2 seed!
