You don't often get a full week to prepare like with football, so the ups and downs of the day to day are more on display creating volatility (across the board for every program) The answer is always somewhere in the middle and the more games you have the more data you have to tell the full story. As bad as we thought VT was shooting to start the season... Sean Pedulla is shooting 38.9% from 3 Hunter Cattoor is shooting 41.1% from 3 Tyler Nickel is shooting exactly 40% In the last month, Robbie Beran is shooting 47% from 3. His mind tying up his body much less. But that was a very real narrative as recent as 2 weeks ago. In football, 2 games would have taken place in that span. In basketball, it's double that. But fans live in the moment so it makes it difficult to determine the waves from the trends. I'm still figuring it out myself (as are every coaching staff on the planet) but it can be maddening to try and extrapolate meaning from any one or two data points Long way of saying "you're not alone nor wrong in feeling that way"
