We do give up a few too many open 3s but part of that is how we overplay the passes to get deflections and steals. That can hurt us against a disciplined team like Mich Tech because if we can't force the turnovers there's an open shot coming.

Harris had a great game... did you see him cheering from the bench? :(

Don't worry, he'll get there. He's just a soph. Has to learn to play D without fouling, and he needs to learn the offense and where to be and when. With his talent the sky's the limit. He reminds me a lot of Langford his first year under Happy, except Harris' ceiling is much higher.

I agree..he has only played one semester of ball the last three years.

Giving up too many 3's has been a common problem of a Happy coached team. Don't know why they can't solve this riddle

Re: 2016-2017 Kentucky Wesleyan basketball thread.

The three point play or the long jump shot has been a tool that the opposition has used against Wesleyan for a long time, especially when kwc has a strong front line. That is the Achilles heel with Wesleyan's defense. I like the fast paced game, but Happy should run a chaser on the other team's shooter if possible. A player has to step up and say, "I will take him."

What helps this year's team is their own all around shooting ability, without that this kind of defense would doom a team. Wesleyan has the athletes. If they stay healthy, they will be a tough out from here on.

Massey now has 8 teams from the Midwest region in their top 20. Usi is fourth nationally and takes the top spot in the region. Wesleyan is ranked 17th nationally and fifth in the region.

Has anyone else noticed the improvement in Wesleyan's athletic website?

If the college can lead a better approach to social media, it can matter bigly. The college has been producing all game articles, and they are more in depth. The messenger inquirer newspaper is no longer published on the college athletic website. The athletic department is showing their loyalty to the Cromwell radio network.

I like the improvement.

Why is that? Has something changed at KWC? I notice things are a little better on the web Site as well.

I think it has alot to do with branding the college. It's a new approach and a realization that the internet and social media is where it's at. Learfield is a great affiliation. I'm sure they are consulting with the college as well.

It's an overall approach to enrich and promote the college.

I like the new pictures they have for KWC basketball. We need these every home game.
