If you go back and look at the back and forth on this forum in late summer of last year, most of it evolved around our guard play. Some believed we were desperate for back court help and others thought we were fine with what we had. In the first half of the season it looks like our guard play was going to be good enough but I don't know how anyone watching yesterday's game can't understand why we lost, our guard play is awful.
Our guards shot 37% overall and 32% from 3 this year. For those not into stats that is awful. Smith shot 37.6% form 3 and led the team. Gillis and Jenkins were the only other guys to shoot better than 35%.
This was Purdue's worst shooting 3 point shooting team since 2012-2013. This year we shot 32.2%, in 2012-2013 we shot 32.0%. For reference Purdue has had a couple of teams shoot 40% from three in the interim.
