Today on the Gator Country message boards a question was posed to me by user Blackbird68:
“Maybe it is just a perception, but subjectively it appears that we have had difficulty guarding the three point shot most of the year. I am not sure the analytics support that conclusion, but if so what do you think the problem is and can it be corrected? Thanks.”It was such a good question, and one that people had been talking about, that I thought an entire article responding to this would be in order. Let’s see what I can do to answer this question about Florida’s three-point defense and whether or not they are struggling to guard the three-point line.
