LA's love for the 3-pointer shared by ULM

[NewsCopy]

Three-point baskets are much more the norm at the start of Sun Belt Conference play, and UL coach Bob Marlin said that can be good and it can be bad for his Ragin’ Cajuns team.

The Cajuns (11-6, 2-2) have shot more 3-pointers in their four conference games — 88 in their past three outings — than any other four games combined this season and Marlin is hoping his team will improve on its 32.1 percent shooting outside the arc in Sun Belt play.

All teams are shooting more threes these days. Duke missed three in a row in OT during their home loss to Syracuse last night. I bet it won't be long before the college three point line is extended to the international line which is a needed change. That will bring back the mid range game to a small degree. Especially a surprise for ULM to be shooting so many threes this season as Richard has not emphasized that as much in the past as he is now. Note, ULM has a transfer from Wichita State putting up great numbers. That is a major reason they are much improved.
