3-point shooting is at .401 after the USF game, still #1.
Good work - but of course the 'loss' lines are a very limited sample size while the 'win' lines are nearly 10 times the sample size. I suspect you could cherry pick 3+ games from the win lines where the shooting was worse than that displayed in the losses but the competition was worse. (Maybe not for Uconn?) For an example, Uconn shot .315/.222 in the win against TN and Oregon shot .476/.300 against Uconn in their win. Shooting percentages always fluctuate and only some fraction of that fluctuation has anything to do with game score and/or defense.All teams shoot lower percentages against better competition and is a reason why they lose games. UConn is not unique in shooting worse from 3 in losses. Below is a table showing shooting % from 2, 3 and Overall by Wins and Losses.
