Remember those worries about Kentucky’s 3-point shooting last season?
John Calipari is ready to acknowledge there was some validity to the hand-wringing.
“Last year that hurt us,” Calipari said Thursday. “My first year, 2010, should have won a national title that year but we go (4 for 32) in a game from the 3-point line. You can’t win a game like that.
“This has become a hit-or-miss league: If you make it you win, if you miss it you lose.”
Avoiding that problem moving forward was a key goal in Calipari’s construction of his 2018-19 roster.
“I want to have everyone on the court that can shoot the ball,” Calipari said. “You’ve got to be honest, you’ve got to play them. Anytime you’re playing against a team where they’re playing off of one person it’s hard. How about two? And we’ve had sometimes when they played off three."

If we have 3 guys who can nail 40% or more of their 3-pointers, we will either bury them in a flood of treys, or our big guys will be unstoppable inside.
I hope we can get that balance next year.

We shot 35.7% from the 3 point last season which tied for 134th in D-1 basketball.
