3's and Free Throws

It's important to understand the best team doesn't always win in the tournament. In one game on a neutral site anything can happen. Too many times we've seen powerhouse teams undermined by cold shooting and a bad free throw percentage. The great equalizer is the 3 point arc and the charity stripe. If you can get it done there, you can hold your own against anyone. This formula is what makes the Mid Majors so dangerous. You don't have to be the biggest, the quickest, or the most athletic if you can handle your business behind the lines.
