Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Milwaukee had been woeful from 3-point land going into the Wright State game Sunday, hitting 30.7% this season, which was ninth in the Horizon League and 286th in the country.
But opponents have been discovering their shooting touches against the Raiders so far this season. The Panthers went on a rampage from beyond the arc in a 91-83 home victory, starting 16 of 28 on 3′s and finishing 16 of 30.
They had been averaging eight 3′s per game.
They shot 67% from the field and scored 55 points in the second half.
“We saw it at Green Bay and we saw it here — the field-goal percentage we’re giving up. It doesn’t really matter what we do in terms of whether it’s zone or man,” coach Scott Nagy said on his post-game radio show.
“Like I told the players, there’ll be a point when they get tired of it. But there may NOT be. We’re watching the same pattern over and over when we have the lead in the second half, and we can’t score enough points because we just can’t get anyone stopped.”
