…..but the MSU basketball I grew up on in the 90s bombed 3s from everywhere. I don’t understand basketball strategy much at all but I know that we aren’t going to be able to complete a comeback until we start hitting some.
Everybody acting like this whole 3 point phenomena is new…..
- Thread starter OG Goat Holder
- Start date
At South Carolina and home against Auburn last year we went 0-for from 3. That was with more offensive talent too. If people think that this is a Jans specific problem they don’t know Mississippi State basketball.
I’m not blaming Jans at all. Just amazing that we don’t have any guys that can do it. It’s not like these ‘analytics’ just came around yesterday.
Howland left us barren there for sure. And there aren’t many shooters in the portal because they are so valuable.
Howland’s best teams had Q Weatherspoon and Tyson Carter. Those guys could light it up from deep and freed everyone else on the offense. Until we get some guys like that we better enjoy rock fights
We need to recruit 3 point shooters. I don't see any on the team. Barry Stewart's, Shane powers, weatherspoon, bost, Zimmerman, Frazier, hell even Ravern Johnson better 3 point shooter than anyone we got. Jan's got his work cut out for him to get some shooters next off season.

Imagine some of those Stansbury locker room “personalities” on a Jans coached team
I am hoping more for a Darryl Wilson/Marcus Grant/TJ Honore to come along
I think what’s amazing is this team isn’t limited to struggling from 3. We didn’t hit a single outside shot last night. Not one. Murphy hit a turnaround from about 8 feet. McNair baby hooked one from right underneath. Everything else was a layup or dunk. And we had some great looks last night. Its really incredible
If people can’t see the improvement in the execution of the half court sets over the last 11 years, they just haven’t been watching. We’re getting open shots but just don’t have the shooters. Sooner or later, some will start to fall. The level of hustle is vastly improved. We’ve gotta give Jans a year or two to get his guys into the system.
Howland freaking stole from us for 7 years. 0, zero, nary a 1 tourney win. Lazy *** recruiter and coach. Take a look at NMSU this year. They are freaking awful. They’ve lost all 6 conference games so far. Jans lost 7 in 4 years combined excluding the Covid year. It’s not a coincidence that NMSU sux this year. Give this guy time and I think he’ll win here. Keep supporting him.

Q and Tyson weren’t great 3 point shooter either. Q was very good. Tyson was good. 36.8 and less than 35%. Q also didn’t take a ton of attempts.
Daryl Wilson was 40%.
Stephen Curry was 41.2%
Historical comparisons are hard to make. Wilson played with the 19’9” line. Curry played on that one for all but one year. Q on the 20’9” line. And Tyson only played one year on the current line.
Tyson not Q would be in the top 88 today at their percentages.
Tyson wouldn’t be in the top 100.
Yes we need one of those and a Zimmerman to drive and get to the rim when in a drought.
Tyson was 32% the one year he played with the current line. The other used a shorter line.
I have to give Jans credit for our games being as close as they have been considering our FG shooting.
I am amazed that as big as the three is at all levels these days, that you could actually field a team of ten guys, none of which are shooters…What are the odds?
We hit any of these percentages as a team Saturday and we likely beat Auburn on the road.
Beyond frustrating.

28.8% as a team. 32 to 33% means a world of difference likely in several games.
I agree. What does he bring to the table? Our recruiting stinks. Hell I can’t imagine Hamilton sticks around since he can’t even see the floor behind this bunch of brick layers.
It would be different if we had big men that were improving each year but we continually miss more around the rim than any other team I’ve seen. Brooks obviously doesn’t make a difference with free throws or layups.
Don't know why a team that can't hit free throws should be expected to hit 3's
