Jackson Trapp leads the Owls in 3PT% by a HANDY margin, and is 4th in all of C-USA.

He's also the Team's best FT shooter.

But he had ZERO shot attempts, and never made it to the line.

All while playing a game high 37 minutes.

its is amazing to me that we lose game after game doing the same thing over and over - to allow several players who rarely play team ball to continue to play that way game after game - to have your center shoot 3 3's in a game, when you have great perimeter shooters on the team! Jackson Trapp needs to shoot more and in general be more aggressive but can't the team come up with plays for him to get open? I remember with Jarvis there were tons of plays for Gantt and Pablo to come off screens and shoot..Kelvin Penn and Justin Raffington need to work harder to score in the paint and stop letting everyone push them around!  Too bad we will never know how good they might have been had they played as a team! Everyone needs to play defense, not just 2 guys! There was a time during the season where we won 3 games in a row and were playing as a TEAM. Then, things unravelled. I have watched many college games and the only time a team uses a point guard to dribble the ball around the perimeter for 20-25 seconds is when they are playing for the last shot of the half or the game. But the coach allows our team to do it several times a game. Watch what the other players are doing while Botley is dribbling the ball around. Johnson does a better job of getting everyone involved. I love basketball and FAU and it is frustrating to watch!
