The NCAA moved back the 3-point line this season to create more room in the lane and cut down on the barrage of 3s in college basketball.
Shooting percentages are down, historically low. Attempts also have dropped, slightly.
Clogged lanes? Depends on who you ask.
“I don’t think it’s changed a lot,” Kansas guard Marcus Garrett said. “I just feel like a lot more shots are being missed.”
He’s right.
With teams heavily relying on 3-pointers more and percentages steadily rising, the NCAA moved the arc back nearly two feet to 22 feet, 1¾ inches this season.
