Three-point line unkind to CU Buffs basketball
TEMPE, Ariz.—The 3-point arc is becoming a unkind barrier for the Colorado men's basketball team.
Typically the Buffaloes under coach Tad Boyle have been solid from long-range, posting three of the top eight 3-point percentages in program history during his tenure. That is changing in a hurry this season, as CU's 5-for-26 mark from long range during Saturday's 83-61 loss at Arizona State continued a lengthy run of 3-point frustration.
CU finished the two-game swing through Arizona with a .256 mark (11-for-43) from 3-point range. It continued a slide over the past seven games in which the Buffs have shot just .262 (37-for-141) on 3-pointers.
