College Basketball's Best 3-Point Shooters

**ISUCyclone06** · 06-29-2011, 10:56 AM

I remember earlier this year Scott went like 1-11 to start the game. I still thought every shot he put up was going to go in.

Tremendous 3pt shooter though.

You hit it on the nose re: his limited athleticism/quickness being the limiting factor.

Between Scotty, Allen, Babb, and McGee I don't think we've ever soon a roster so loaded with high caliber 3-point shooters. It's kind of ridiculous, actually.

He was injured. Remember he was 1st/2nd in the nation in 3-point percentage (I believe) pretty much until he injured his elbow -- he wasn't quite the same after that. We didn't have close games at the beginning of the season -- not until after he was injured.

Note -- I don't know if he could have gotten open or not -- I'm just sayin' his shot wasn't nearly as clutch after the injury.

It has me so excited that I can barely sit still. For once, Ill gladly welcome the start of an Iowa winter.

Since summer has been colder, I'm expecting a horrible Iowa winter, and I'm still looking forward to it.

I don't remember exactly when he was injured but UNI, CAL and Iowa were all close games early in the season.

I'm pretty sure he hit a big 3 in the last minute to tie the game against Cal, on a set play out of a timeout. I may be thinking of a different game, anyone else remember?

With that said, its on the coaching staff to run sets that give him chances to knock down shots. You've got to coach to your strengths.

How do your guard Scotty, Allen and Babb from 3 land. Impossible! Then throw in Tyus McGee who made 119 three pointers last year in a tough JC league this team is going to be freaky good at every spot Has a chance to win 24 to 25 games in a brutal tough league...

I think part of the reason Hoiberg started going to DG end of games was because Scotty was injured, like somebody said he went to Scotty at the end of the Cal game early in the season. Anyway I think he will have an astounding season as long as he stay healthy

Good for Scotty. We will have 3 or 4 shooters this year that I believe will have great 3 point shooting percentages. Teams cant guard three good shooters at once. Scotty,
Babb, Allen, McGee may have field days against teams. Guard Scotty tight will leave babb, Allen or McGee open with some ball movement.

Teams can choose to guard our shooters, but that leaves the middle in man-to-man coverage. Hopefully, White/Booker can dominate if they get single coverage down low.

I think the inside/outside game could be very effective. With solid shooters on the wing and White's passing ability, I can see this being a very tough team to stop.
