re: Will wade on 3 pt defense

For a team that's so lousy on defense and stopping three's, has anyone noticed that we are still tied for first place in the conference with legendary Kentucky and vaunted Auburn? What does that say about all the teams below us and especially those we have beaten?
To say that we don't try to contest three's is just crazy. I would really love it if someone had good stats on how many three's are wide open and how many do have a hand in their face. I also believe that it is the emphasis we put on rebounding and having to do a lot of help defense on the interior because we have a 6'6" center that allows teams to get off so many three's. The majority of times this pays off for us and sometimes it doesn't.
We don't have the kind of team that can do everything to perfection. We have to pick and choose our poison and sometimes it is the wrong choice.

There have certainly been some wide open looks the last two games. And honestly, perimeter defense has been the most glaring issue since Wade started here. But I am still consistently baffled by how many contested 3s our opponents seem to drain.
