There are many paths to being a good basketball team

But I think the larger point is there's definitely a path to the NCAA Tournament without shooting 38% from three...which would be a top 20 shooting percentage They need to incrementally improve the periphery. Less turnovers, better defense in transition (and as a byproduct, better defensive efficiency), balanced scoring inside and out...and all of that starts with a better understanding of their roles and a much more consistent execution of that Not sure you can quantify any of that with a pre-determined number...they just need to be better. But they can absolutely get there shooting the same % as last season from 3. It'll just take more improvement from the other criteria

Wrong. Respectfully of course.

Methinks a lot of our success depends on the consistency of our PGs.

I agree that more consistent PG play with fewer turnovers is key....
