So, Febres and Long will get some more time with Roach out.
Looking at Febres' 3 point shooting as I wonder how effective he is as a shooter. I don't know if there are stats for this, but he seems to shoot better when he has the Texas bench behind him, so I'm curious if there is a breakdown of his first half and second half percentages. According to stats, he's shooting 36.1% in 3's over the season. He is slightly up for the conference at 36.7%, but if you take out the highest (7-9 v KSU) and lowest (take your pick as he's had two 1-6 games OU and WV) in conference his percentage drops to 32.8%.
Long's shooting percentage is 33.8% and 30.4 for three for the season.
Both of these guys are going to have to raise their game for Texas to have a chance to win games the rest of the season. And that includes from the foul line where Febres is 61.5% and Long is 57.1%.
I can understand the logic in Shaka saying Febres is a great shooter, but it's time to pull out all of the motivational options.
