Basketball: Defending the three

• For the second night in a row, the Tigers are doing an excellent job getting out on three point shooters and forcing them into off-balance or rushed three-point attempts. Loyola shot 5 of 13 from deep last night, and VMI has come out really cold, shooting 1 of 9 so far.
• Meanwhile, VMI has made 6 of its 7 shots from inside the three-point line. While Gunn, Koncz, and Schroeder are quick enough to really shut down outside shooters, the big guys seem to have no chance against VMI's rather pedestrian post players. In an interview after last night's game, Strittmatter placed a lot of the blame for that on himself, but Schroeder said that he and the other guards had to do a better job keeping opponents from driving past them to get inside penetration.
