How much do the three different color lines for the three point line confuse players? Are teams not shooting good or are they just shooting too far back?

I don't think it's as much the lines as it is the size of the venue. Backdrop for the basket has been discussed many times, and is usually prepared (somewhat) for... I know that our coach practiced at a facility with a deep backdrop to allow for it, but I also think that overall size messes with basket perception. Some very good shooting teams have gone dead fish cold on that floor.

I have noticed that. I also noticed several teams have been shooting at or behind the blue line instead of the white. Shots are on point but hit front of rim

Macon struggled from 3 today. Is that their normal?

The 3 game for Macon isn’t as consistent as years past

Gotcha! I have seen a lot of teams struggling from the 3 in the first round so I just wondered if that was their normal

I think it’s more of the back drop and going from a high school gym to a collegiate gym and its openness

I picked Grainger as my dark horse.  Seen them play in Maryville Christmas tournament and felt they were gonna be a tough out for anyone.  I feel like Westview will have to get out of that zone, Grainger will hurt them and can match up better with size than Meigs.  I felt Meigs just couldn't find the normal offensive rhythm last night.   

I thought Northview and Grainger were the premiere teams from east Tennessee, followed closely by Alcoa and Meigs. According to each teams' fans, neither Westview or Meigs had their best game last night, but Westview played well enough to turn the game in the 3rd quarter.

I was t overly impressed today with Northview or Creek Wood. It seems if you can shut down 14, Northview is pretty 1 dimensional
