what happened to Eugene's shot?
I think he's taking a lot of the abuse because he is shooting 28% from 3. He was 37% from 3 last year.
I think he had that big clutch game in Hawaii against Ohio where he hit the 3 to tie and after that he got this unfound confidence that he was the man and he took on too much.
He came home and he went
0-3 Marist
1-5 VT
0-5 Cuse
in his 3 pt attempts and as he had that false confidence he quickly became unconfident. Especially after the boos from the DePaul game, which I did not attend, however I heard the crowd was awfully tough and we all know the post game quotes ensuing.
Geno then didn't shoot at all(some of you are very happy about that) plus he was hurt.
He then had a good game at Rutgers and he hoists 6 threes against PC. Yes the 1 went in which was huge however he shouldn't be shooting all those threes. Also as a team we do so much better when we shoot less than 20 threes.
Point is Geno needs to find the balance of being confident shooting the ball but not overconfident looking for his own shot but let the shots come to him and find shots for others. Play within himself and his %'s and averages will go up.
