BYU's 3-point shooting among worst in country so Rose is seeking improvement

PROVO — BYU coach Dave Rose is probably tired of answering the question. But invariably, it comes up.

The Cougars (5-2) continue to struggle shooting from 3-point territory.

In fact, they are last in the West Coast Conference, and No. 309 nationally (out of 351 teams), at 28.8 percent (51 of 177). It's become a glaring weakness through seven games this season.

In BYU’s 76-62 setback at home against Houston last Saturday, the Cougars shot 8 of 28 from distance, although TJ Haws went 6 of 12 and finished with 25 points.

Only two players are shooting above 30 percent from 3-point range this season — Haws (41 percent) and Zac Seljaas (38 percent).
