After shooting 32 percent from 3 last season, head coach Adia Barnes wanted to see that number rise to 36 percent this season. It’s needed if they hope to keep pace in a loaded Pac-12 Conference.
Well, through six games they are shooting 36.6 percent from distance—and still have room to grow.
“I think we can probably be 38 percent, I hope,” Barnes said. “And I hope it can stay that way.”
At 6-0 with an average scoring margin of 28.5, the Wildcats currently boast the 29th-best offensive efficiency in the country, more than 50 spots higher than last season.
