How Oregon's Lexi Bando became one of college basketball's best shooters
In case anyone is curious - career 3 point FG% of UConn players:
Diana - 39.2%
Kaleena - 44.7%
Lou - 41.7%
Maya - 40.4%
Kia - 42.9%
Svet - 40.6%
Bando's numbers are darned impressive.
Totally agree with you, given the fact that she's hoisted up 500+ shots to achieve that 45.6% mark. I looked at the NCAA records to see how folks did over a season in D1 and found this chart for (more) comparison:
THREE-POINT FIELD-GOAL PERCENTAGE (based on qualifiers for annual championship) Player, Team Season G 3FG 3FGA Pct.
Heather Donlon, Fordham........................................... †1990 29 50 87 *57.5
Kathy Halligan, Creighton............................................ †1992 32 72 130 55.4
Alicia Ratay, Notre Dame.............................................. †2001 36 81 148 54.7
Jill Morton, Louisville...................................................... †2000 27 69 129 53.5
K.C. Cowgill, Missouri St................................................ †2005 33 74 139 53.2
One reason for doing this,I'll admit
, was to see how ND's Alicia Ratay ("the silent assassin") ranked in total records. I once saw her drill 7 of 7 against Rutgers (at the RAC), where concentration is sometimes a tough thing. Even with Maddie Cable, Kmac and the Mabreys, Ratay is the gold standard for Irish 3-point bombing.
