Make a bunch of 3s. Get oboards. Despite being out FT rated, hit 91% on FTs to still win the FT line advantage.

All that adds up to another win against Texas.

And another weekend of first place Cats.

Hitting 50% from 3 and 91% on FTs makes up for a lot.

kstate just didn't care in the 2nd half, 'zacker.  why should they have?

Texas' first half PPP of .98 is higher than their season PPP avg of .93

Should I interpret as a normal zacker post to stir the pot, or is this legitimately a "I don't like how we win even though we're winning a lot the same way" post?

I thought I would hate the new way we play. I don't. I love shooting well.

Its really fun to see Shane or Rod or Tay or Angel or Will (EVEN WILL) chuck a three and be almost certain its going in.

Now at 40% from 3 in league games, though I'm sure after 14 games that's purely an accident.

Forgive me, does FTR factor into PPP in anyway?

well, considering he has never had a team shoot 40% for an entire season, he only had a single month of conference games at Illinois where his teams shot 40% from 3, and 6 of 7 returning players at Illinois are shooting better from three than they did last year, there's a pretty good chance that this is correct.

I am amazed it hasn't caught up to them by now, however games @baylor amd @osu might be the shoes that fall.  I have just not seen a ksu team shoot like that.

Yeah, I guess it's possible that Illinois fans wouldn't let oscar have his team shoot 40% from three. I mean they did tell him who to recruit.

I will agree with you that it is a statistical anomaly for a oscar team in the long run, so its unreasonable to expect a 40% team next year, etc.

But its not an anomaly for this particular season, and while we could have a low 30% game in our last 4, its reasonable to expect us to shoot in the upper 30s (at least) the rest of this season.

8 of 14 league games we've shot 40% or better. 10 of 14 we've hit at least 2/3. And we've actually shot better on the road (.413) than at home (.389), so we should be fine @BU or @OSU.

shooting 30% or worse in both of those individual games wouldn't really be a statistical anomaly either.

Why not?

Maybe not an anomaly, but it would still be very unexpected.

no it wouldn't.  3% has high variance.  neither shooting 20% nor 60% would be unexpected.

2 games at/under 30% when you've had 1 at 30% in league games is unexpected to me.
