Z has to make an occasional open 3

Please, please donā€™t tempt Simpson to shoot the 3ā€¦

Whatā€™s the three percent tonight?

Two straight in and out 3s. I donā€™t think looks from Zavier and Teske is what we wanted trying to extend the lead.

29% on the year. 39% from the floor. 40% from free throw. Woof.

Lesson from this game. Keep to the 7 man rotation

Three of thirteen from 3 tonite.

Iā€™m actually surprised the 3pt% is even that highā€¦ seems like I have barely seen him make any and watched a lot of misses

Simpson simply canā€™t take 3-4 threes a game if heā€™s gonna shoot 20%.

I donā€™t think thatā€™s viable year long. If Davis is doesnā€™t improve then Johns has to develop. We canā€™t go 2 deep at the 5 with one being very undersized.

Oof! Maybe inside out from here on out?

Or get Johns up to speed ASAP so that heā€™s the 8th man and not Davis

Is that sustainable over the whole season though?

The NW defense is real and we arenā€™t going to line unless we keep driving.

Livers is -19 right nowā€¦

Wow thatā€™s insane

Gotta take advantage of the man short on the other end, seems like that happened a couple times

Terrible foul Iggy.

Northwestern has done a really good job of sticking to shooters. Has there been an uncontested three from anyone other than Simpson since the opening 5 minutes of the game?

Edit: Hell, given that Poole was fouled twice even those were contested.
