Yes him, Neo, and for a couple games Amani has been tough

Lawal and Neo are shooting about the same % from deep in conference play. The primary issue is that recently they’re averaging 9 3PA per game and only making 1 of them. Every coach is fine with Neo taking his looks, they’re usually open and in the flow of the offense, if he doesn’t shoot the defense can sag off him. Lawal taking early shot clock 3s is exactly what every opposing team wants. An extremely low percentage shot from deep taken by your best offensive rebounder that you don’t need to close out on. That’s a shot you can get any time, it should only be taken in desperation. You might as well mark that decision the same as a turnover in film review. Half the team is slumping at the same time, make a few more 3s per game and we’re probably sitting pretty as an 8 seed

It's a pretty common Hokie pattern that several "slump at the same time"

When the competition gets tougher it creates slumps

I would say that The Jiffy Pop Dome and Chestnut Hill are tougher venues
