I thought Duke would be higher....meaning you're a traditional 3 point shooting team.
Not too surprising considering who we lost from last year. Our best 3 point shooters right now are our big men - Jay Huff and Mamadi Diakite. The guards are mostly newcomers and are not shooting well at all to start the season. They are not known as bad 3 point shooters but it's a brutal start. Definitely limits our ceiling. Fortunately, the defense is elite right now and the OOC schedule is light so we'll probably still win a good number of games.
Also, what conversation is that dude talking about? Is this a big talking point about Duke to which I'm oblivious?
Sight lines don’t seem to bother other teams, if D2 teams can shoot in Rupp, why can’t we?It sucks for UK b/c Calipari said he was going to recruit more shooter instead of the athletic slashers. UK fans were like "yay", and now here we are
I blame Rupp Arena's sight lines. We need to build an on campus arena that's perfect for shooters.

Well, you have to come IN to Rupp playing for a 4-worded college, be a player that's never really accomplished anything remarkable, and then just for some random reason go completely ape sh!t like never before, post a career high when you didn't even make the pre-game scouting tape, and then return to obscurity when your team loses the next 4 games in a row while you score approximately 6 points in each loss.Sight lines don’t seem to bother other teams, if D2 teams can shoot in Rupp, why can’t we?
LOL.... lets make fun of My cats for a minute.... this is getting so damn stupid haha. Barbee and Justus are in charge of shooting for guards and wings.... how do they have jobs after 5 years of this crap?
Wow, we're actually better than someone?
Opponents certainly don't have a problem raining threes in Rupp.It sucks for UK b/c Calipari said he was going to recruit more shooter instead of the athletic slashers. UK fans were like "yay", and now here we are

I thought UK was 360th out of 352 teams.
And whoa, if UVA is shooting that bad, they're in real trouble. It seemed that was their main weapon the last couple of years and points are at a premium in their games.
Good question, I wonder if the line being moved back has affected it very much?Maybe too early - what I'd like to know, what are the 3pt % all teams combined - down, up, same? Compared to prior years...
Idk how much of an effect the line moving back has. I mean most players already shot like a foot or two behind the line anyways
As a rule UK rarely shoots the three well. I personally don't think that Cal teaches good three point shot defense.Duke is certainly not lighting it up, just didn’t think these teams were worse than Duke at this time.
Crispin brothers started that shit.Well, you have to come IN to Rupp playing for a 4-worded college, be a player that's never really accomplished anything remarkable, and then just for some random reason go completely ape sh!t like never before, post a career high when you didn't even make the pre-game scouting tape, and then return to obscurity when your team loses the next 4 games in a row while you score approximately 6 points in each loss.
The Kentucky Effect.
Cal just refuses to utilize the three as an offensive scheme.As a rule UK rarely shoots the three well. I personally don't think that Cal teaches good three point shot defense.
I was happy with the new three point line; however, the teams that UK have played so far seem to shoot it better farther out than at the old line!
Duke, Kentucky and Virginia are young teams and they may improve from the three.
Updated as of 12/16/19:

MSU 31.3% from 3

UVA 24.9% from 3
