Haaland: The perfect storm

We were 13/25 from three against KU -- or a blistering 52.0% rate.

We scored 77.

Against Baylor, we were 7/18 from three -- another good mark of 38.9%.

We scored 70 and lost by three.

52.0% minus 38.9% is 13.1%, which is 2.358 shots across 18 shots.

Round that down to two.

So that means six points we "missed" for not shooting like we did against Kansas.

76-73 sounds much nicer, no?

Heck, looking at that, I wish we took more threes against that Baylor zone. The shots were there and we were mostly hitting them when we took them.

Even good teams lose roughly 50% of their close games. Just have to keep it going now.

Also if Baylor shoots normal it's probably an 8 pointish ISU win despite what I didn't think was a very good game overall for ISU.

Tomorrow should be interesting.
