Author Topic: 3 point shooting has become a focal point catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 11-25-2019 04:57 PM                     It’s no secret Kentucky has struggled from deep so far this season. However, that’s clearly become a focal point for UK moving forward. Coming into Sunday night with only six threes made as a high for a single game so far, the Cats set a season high for threes just in the first half with seven. That increases in the second half as Kentucky looked to erase any negative memories of their poor shooting. UK has several capable three-point shooters, so it was only a matter of time before the Cats’ offensive slump ended. It did just that Sunday night and that’s in large part due to the shooting from behind the arc.

I don't know why but think the offense Cal runs is not good for 3-point shooting. Either that or he just breaks these kids down. Take Herro for example. He shot 43.5% from three in high school, but only 35% last year as a Cat. Sure, the talent level is different, but boy did he miss a lot of open looks. Posts: 10350 | From: Erlanger, Ky.
