Message: [QUOTE="jleves, post: 2513997, member: 757"] You have to take into account the extra minutes and shorter shot clock in the NBA. 48 minutes and a 24 second shot clock means a minimum of 60 possessions per team. 40 minutes and a 30 second shot clock means 40 possessions per team in the NCAA. Obviously those are minimums but it means there are probably about 33% more possessions per team in the NBA. 54 three point attempts works out to about 36 in an NCAA game. Nova averages about 26.5/game. Remember too that Nova probably has a lot more blowouts where they aren't hoisting threes early in the shot clock for a good part of the second half which will skew that stat down some. Bottom line, I don't think the numbers show college teams are less likely to use a 3 point strategy. [/QUOTE]
