Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 3967337, member: 10435"] Yes that's correct. As was stated before by Old Dude, the change in the line for the men's college game resulted in only a 1% decline in 3 point shooting percentages. We took 565 3s last year, a change in 1% for the UCONN women means approximately 18 less points over the course of a season from the 3 range without factoring in other shots taken instead. Hardly significant in total but potentially significant in a specific close game. However, I don't see that same 1% deviation applying to the women in the first year. 16" is not insignificant and I would not be surprised with a 5% drop off in the number of 3s as a matter of national averages in women's basketball and a 3% drop off in 3 ball shooting percentages in the first year. Strong counterpoint for us is that Paige, Azzi and Ducharme have great range and Evina and CW are also viable shooters from the new mark. [/QUOTE]
