Quotable: “The biggest part within the two-point field-goal percentage is a mindset shift,” Loucks said. “Everyone talks about our three-point shooting because we shoot a lot of them. We don't want to just jack three. The formula of getting the threes we want — you have to first attack, and if the help doesn't come, the 3-point shot is off. Our first goal is to get to the rim and finish at the rim in one-on-one opportunities.”
