That's what GBJ is shooting from the 3 point line the last 5 games. 13/22.
And he has 17 assists in that stretch, with at least 3 in every game.
Pangos has made 25 of 49 3's since January 10.
More important, they are running the offense efficiently and doing a great job of setting up the bigs imo. Both are capable of scoring a lot more, but they are sacrificing their individual games to make this team better.
The conventional wisdom is that Olynyk/Harris are the best, or one of the best, frontcourt pairs in the nation and that's why the Zags are doing so well. And many here, including some really knowledgeable posters, have said the backcourt is what will stop the Zags from making a deep run. I've been disagreeing with that consistently, and I hope tonight will put an end to that kind of talk.
Delly and Holt are one of the best guard pairs in the country; they are the reason SMC is good. SMC's front court is slightly above average mid major this year. And great move to double Delly off every pick, so the guards had some help on defense. But Holt and Delly both had great nights, and KP and GBJ matched them play for play and shot for shot.
Though the tourney's always a crapshoot, after this game I'm convinced this team has a shot at the final 4. The team's consensus big 3 isn't why. The reason is that in the post season, I expect to see the GBJ we saw against Ohio State. A guy many seem to have forgotten exists.
And Reborn- I am in awe of your score prediction.
