    Deandre, in his one year at UM, shot 29% from behind the arc (back in the good old days when we had really good outside shooters and a 3 pt FG% like that really stood out). He was streaky with his shooting at Ole Miss. Shot them in and out of many games in racking up those 15 ppg. We had...

    Your question sounds like it's a unique Miami thing. 75 other schools face the same issue. But ... becoming a perennial also-ran and finishing last in the ACC didn't help.
