UK has the #2 three point percentage defense in the country

duke would've won if they'd made more threes tho. So....

Luck mostly. It's not like they are guarding the hell out of the three-point line. Teams get open shots from the perimeter but we've been lucky and they don't go in.....for now.
 
I can’t tell if this is a joke or a serious statement. If it is joke, it is hilarious. If you are serious, it is still hilarious.
I mean I feel like teams get three balls up in the air on us but they just don't go in.
maybe it's the defense but I think alot of it's luck.

Just my hilarious opinion. I apologize for it haha

You don’t have to apologize for it. My perspective doesn’t have to be the same as yours. There is no such thing as a defense that doesn’t give up any open looks. Some of the open looks we give up are based on scout. Others are missed due to fatigue — we get into people’s legs.

I sorta agree here. I don’t see our guys in the faces of the 3 point shooters. A lot of open looks every game.

I do like our defense as a whole but 3 pt defense does seem like a bit of a lucky/unlucky stat.

It's not a surprise to me. We have intelligent players who bust it on both ends of the court. Like Patters above said, we close out on shooters very well.
 
for me, it stands to reason that if one of your philosophies is about the math of making 3 point shots giving you an advantage to score more points in a game, then the same can be said that you would try and limit the same thing on the other side of the ball, right ???


And it seems to be working, so far…
