The 3-point shot has taken over basketball at every competitive level, and the 2019 Bears were part of that revolution.
Baylor hasn’t always attempted a ton of 3-point shots. From 2010-2018, Baylor never attempted 35% or more of their shots from beyond the arc in a season. They ranked sub 190 nationally in 3-point attempts six times in the 2010’s.
The Bears built exceptional offenses without firing too many triples. The Bears ranked top 25 in adjusted offensive efficiency 8-of-10 times this decade. Only Duke and Kentucky had more top 25 adjusted offensive efficiency years.

The 2019 Bears changed their formula.
