"It was not hard to diagnose this team’s biggest problems. The Tigers shot 29.7% from 3-point range, the worst percentage in team history since the college game added the 3-point arc in 1986. Of the eight players who attempted at least 25 shots from behind the arc, only Mark Smith shot better than 30%."
The actual biggest problem is that despite that year long stat, more than 40% of our field goal attempts on the season were from that distance. 539 3 point attempts by guys who shot less than 30% from that distance. That is 31.5% of our total field goal attempts on the season from guys with less than a 30% success rate. And despite setting the all time MU record for FT%, opponents took 148 more free throws than the Tigers because we settled for bad shots so frequently.
