Special to BIGEAST.com

Ty-Shon Alexander was grinning even before the question was finished being asked. The query was this: will the NCAA’s decision to move the three-point line back over a foot, from 20-feet, nine-inches to the current 22-feet, 1 ¾ inches, have a big impact on teams in the BIG EAST this season.

But Alexander, Creighton’s superlative junior guard who led the Bluejays with 97 three-pointers last season, waited patiently for the question to be asked.

“Everybody knows we’re ready to shoot it as soon as we cross halfcourt,” Alexander said with a laugh.
