ACC Teams That Struggled From Outside
The three-point shot is a weapon, until it’s not.
Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts - January 18 saw the Boston College Eagles face off against the Duke Blue Devils at Conte Forum. Donald Hand Jr. #13, a forward for the Eagles, reacted after a three-point basket in the first half. Ineffective three-point shooting has been a recurring issue in college basketball, especially with the extended arc and pro focus on long-range scoring.
Two of the ACC's three worst collective efforts from beyond the arc and five of the worst nine in the past decade have been witnessed recently. This lousy long-distance shooting likely contributed to a coaching change at Boston College, where Earl Grant's fifth Eagles squad hit only .294 of their threes, the second-worst in the ACC during the past century.
