As Rams men’s basketball head coach Niko Medved would tell you, it’s best to “love the paint, like the three,” and that’s certainly what they did against Mississippi Valley State University Saturday.
Following the Rams’ recent trip to Charleston, South Carolina, for the Shriners Children’s Charleston Classic tournament, something needed to change after only shooting 21.7% from three through their final two games of the tournament. Shooting 37% from three against the Delta Devils certainly helped en route to a 88-45 victory.
“I think your best threes come when the ball touches the paint first and playing inside out, and not just settling,” Medved said.
