Feeling for Ben Dillard

After 3 1/2 seasons of being one of the best 3-point shooters in school history, Ben Dillard has hit a very cold streak, and I feel for him. I do not know him personally, of course, but his public demeanor seems to indicate that he is a class act. But in the last four games he has gone stone cold from the arc. He is 2 out of 17 over that stretch, and 0 for 9 in the last two games. For whatever reason, his shot has deserted him, and it is painful to have to watch (or listen to, as the case may be).

What is interesting is that in the same four games, Ben was 11 of 12 from the free throw line, so he still can shoot. We really need for Ben to regain his stroke for the stretch run this year.
