Well, this dont look good at all. Our boys have lost their mojo and energy. Losing becomes infectious.

Some have commented on the play of PJ Hardy and how he has cooled off from hitting 3pt. shots lately. Well, in his last few games at the Cajundome he has missed some shots. But, maybe he is just not getting enough attempts!...for whatever reason.

Jay: 39/115 = 34%
Frank: 55/149 = 37%
P.J.: 39/83 = 47%

Now, I don't know what the breakdown is for conference games only, but I would bet that his 3pt fg stats would be less. Nevertheless, if you have a player hitting almost half of his 3 pt. shots, wouldn't you want to give him a chance to take 5 to 6 shots per game? Btw, Stove is 8 for 33 for about 24%.
Now, PJ does have a lot of room for improvement. He plays like a freshman; inconsistent, too many turnovers, still learning how to play defense. But, for as much as he has "cooled-off" lately, he is still making 3pt fg's at a high rate. He is getting about 17 mins per game, the 6th most on the team. I just wish there was a way to get him a few more attempts per game.

I'm just telling y'all.. South Al has better guards than Troy.
