The NCAA announced last week that they would be adopting several rule changes for the 2019-2020 season, namely changing the distance of the three-point arc from a distance of 20’9” to 22’1.75”, which is the international distance.
This is the second time in the last decade that the line has been extended, as it was last moved in 2008-2009. The following season, three point percentages declined from 35.2% to 34.4%, eventually reaching the 35%+ mark again by 2017. During the 2019 NIT, where the international line was in effect, teams shot 33% from deep. In their four game NIT run, the Horned Frogs shot 30.
