Razorbacks Working to Improve Shooting Accuracy
Hogs Hitting Only 29.7% in Games
The Arkansas Razorbacks are one of the most talented teams in the country, but they're struggling to shoot the basketball. Through their first three games, the Hogs are hitting just 29.7% from the field, which ranks 339th in the nation.
Arkansas head coach Eric Musselman is concerned about his team's shooting woes. "We're not making shots," he said. "We're getting good looks, but we're not knocking them down."
What's the Problem?
There are a few reasons why the Razorbacks are struggling to shoot the ball. First, they're not getting enough good looks. They're taking too many contested shots and not enough open ones. Second, they're not shooting with confidence. They're pressing and trying to do too much, which is leading to poor shot selection.
What's the Solution?
Musselman says the Razorbacks need to be more patient and take better shots. They also need to shoot with more confidence. "We've got to have a better mindset," he said. "We've got to believe that we can make shots."
Can the Razorbacks Fix Their Shooting?
It's still early in the season, so there's no reason to panic. The Razorbacks have the talent to be a great shooting team. They just need to find their rhythm and start knocking down shots. If they can do that, they'll be a tough team to beat.
