As the Arizona Wildcats struggle to hit shots, one of their former players is having no trouble knocking down his.
Former UA guard Alex Barcello, now starring for the BYU Cougars, has emerged as one of the top 3-point shooters in college basketball, currently converting 48.8 percent (42-86) of his triples, the eighth-best mark in the country among players who play at least 40 percent of their team’s minutes and average at least two shots per game.
The Phoenix native has started in all 26 games for the Cougars, averaging 10 points and becoming a key cog on a squad not only ranks fifth in the country in offensive efficiency but also first in 3-point field goal percentage.
