RM,

Agree that we have got burnt by 3-point shooting, but I think most of the 3's have come from our opponents PF's and SF's. Just a quick check of the stats show that:

- Loyola's forwards Allen and Bossmen hit 6-11
- Yales 6-7 Vitelli and 6-6 Minoff go 5-11
- Charleston's Drafst 6-7 was tops at 2-4
- American's Guard Stokes went wild 6-12, but thats when the game was over the real problem was their center/PF Cresnik 3-9
- Marist's forwards Eppihimer and Sosler go 5-10

So I think our guards have done the job. But I am a little worried that Todd is not full speed from the ankle. Rider goes with 3 guards so out SF's Delfico and Max have to be on top of that. The good news is that Rider's Center and PF have only attempted 3 three pointers, all by Reed..... and he has hit 2 of them. Robert Reed is sneaky Good, and I would not be surpised to see him thowing up some 3's today.

IMO, our specific problem on our 3-point "D" is our PF/C getting out on "D". We are fine when Max or Nick are at the PF, but when Garcia, Gai, Feleccia or Ajou is at the 4, I worry about three point defense. Don't think that Rider's PF wil score from deep but they could bring in 4 shooters off the bench.

IMO, a shooter at the 4 is a dangerous weapon for Mid majors..... I think its been a blueprint to success for many Midmajors like Gonzaga, Richmond etc. I like Eppehimer from Marist for that reason. I think that Ajou can be that type for us. I am also hopeful that Marty O'Sullivan can be that type of player..... a taller version of Pat Yerina with a good 3-point shot

Pound the ball inside. Rider has no answers for Garcia, Thomson, Gai and Maxwell. We should get easy baskets and lots of foul shots.
