Bill Self has proven time and again he doesn't care about ball security or long range shooting, he cares about tough defense. So we're going to continue to get these ugly-ass NCAA games as long as he's here, and he'll continue to get upset by lesser teams who do value the ball and who do, normally, utilize the 3.
You put yourself at a serious disadvantage mathematically if you can't shoot the 3. It doesn't hurt you when you overwhelm lesser teams but when you advance and talent evens out, it comes home to roost. Conner's ball security and outside shooting MORE than makes up for Tharpe's defense, and frankly, for Selden's either.
