re: Why do Pearl and Calipari struggle so badly to win any games in the tournament?

IMO, Calipari has been too reliant on freshmen who haven't fully adjusted to the longer 3pt line. The high school 3pt line is 19' 9". The college 3pt line is 22' 1.75". That is a significant adjustment.

Bu t shouldn't that adjustment have been made by the time of the tournament?

If they are supposed to be contributing and have seen an appreciable amount of minutes in the season, you've been on the floor in games and in practice. If you still aren't comfortable with it or adjusted, take extra time and shoot from the college arc.

But I used to say the same thing about Auburn teams that shot like shite from the charity stripe. Why were they not taking extra time before, during, or after practice, or on their own time, to put in extra work to raise those percentages up.
