And right now, the Cougars are not faring well from 3-point range. That's the topic of this article in today's Salt Lake Tribune. Bottom line: BYU ranks 322nd out of 347 teams in the country in 3-point shooting percentage — 29.1 percent.
They are tied for 263rd in 3-point field goals made, with just 48. Granted, the Cougars are shooting fewer 3-pointers than most teams, 165. They ranked 179th in 3-point field goal attempts heading into Tuesday night's games.
"The majority of the shots are pretty good shots — shots that we want," BYU coach Dave Rose said Tuesday when I asked him about the 3-point shooting woes.
