Tennessee shooting the three is like a blind guy spear fishing--hit and miss, but mostly miss. We can score the ball. We have slashers, four of them, that can drive and score off the dribble and on the move. We have a big man-extraordinaire.
What we don't have are passers--folks that can dish the ball in traffic. Admittedly, Ole Miss was a hatchet team, but we gotta learn to handle the ball and find the open man. Going into cocoon-mode and calling a timeout is not the best way to break the double team.
And, where or where is the lob pass for a dunk? It seems open at times but not an option. Haven't seen a good dunk since McRae's drive four games ago.
My left-handed comment: We can score using the give-n-go, if we learn to handle the ball in traffic and attack the rim.
