The Colorado Men’s basketball team outlasted the visiting Washington State Cougars Thursday night in a game that saw both teams firing often from behind the arc.
The Buffs attempted 44.8% of their shots from three-point range – an unusual sight considering head coach Tad Boyle’s offensive philosophy. For reference, CU averaged around 35% of their attempts from three prior to this game.
Not to be outdone, the Cougars attempted a majority (51.4%) of their shots from beyond the line, converting on 15 of their 34 tries.
While the Cougars haven’t done many things well this season, they have been sharp from behind the arc, with sophomore guard Malachi Flynn and junior forward Robert Franks leading the way.
