The other 8 WCC teams, rounding off, range from opponents shooting 30%to .37 percent on 3-pt attempts
a range of 7 percent
GU is 'holding' opponents down to 44% 3-point shooting, which means the distance between us and the 'pack of leading 8', i.e. next to worse team (Pepperdine) is the same as the entire range for the rest of the league
now one might immediately say we play a harder schedule, which we do,
however, not too much harder SO FAR. Our WCC brethren have played against Kentucky, Arizona, Wisconsin, U of W, WSU, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, New Mexico, and won in some cases.
I have never been bent out of shape over our 3-pt defense as most others on the board have been, have never brought it up before, because when we win I think we give those three shot attempts in exchange for getting something more valuable - perhaps collapsing to close lanes
But I do hope by January we will be in the middle of the WCC, rather than WAY behind everyone else
