Message: [QUOTE="Littlemin, post: 4581807, member: 10363"] To put the “fear” of Baylor’s 3 point shooting in perspective; they shoot to a 32% as a team, Uconn 36%. Baylor has shot 218- 678, Uconn 210-581, so Baylor has made 8 more 3‘s on 97 more attempts. There best % shooter at 39% attempts less that 2 per game, comparable to Griffin’s stats as far as attempts. Their highest volume shooter shoots 35%, Uconn’s, Senechal, 43%. Next highest volume shooter for Baylor, 33%, next for Uconn is Muhl at 35% but her volume is largely statistical due to the games she has played vs. Fudd, who is at 37%, even with her last 4 games of scrubbing off the rust. The 3rd of Baylor’s 3 point threats shoots virtually the same 35% as Muhl. That is the gamut for Baylor but Uconn still has Ducharme and Juhasz as threats. So is Baylor a threat from 3, yes, they average 21 attempts, so if they have an unconscious game, of course it can be a difference maker but the 3 is always a big wild card against teams that use it. But the point is, Uconn also has their weapons from 3, and would appear to play better defense and have better inside scoring. So the “anything can happen in one game” obviously applies but it will for every game from here on out. [/QUOTE]
