Through the first three games of the season, it looked like Michigan State basketball was on track to become a historically-bad 3-point shooting team.
Michigan State was just 13-for-60 from deep through the first three games, and then it shot 11-for-22 against Kentucky to gain some confidence back. After that Kentucky game, Michigan State had one more poor showing from deep, going just 8-for-27 against a mediocre Detroit Mercy team.
The Spartans then cut their attempts down, shooting only 10 against North Carolina and 12 against Iowa. Then they put up 22 attempts against Duke, making eight.
