Tennessee State, on the other hand, entered last night’s matchup with a season of thriving from behind-the-arc. The tigers ranked fifth nationally, averaging 12.2 successful three-point baskets through their first five games. Over 48 percent of their offense was coming from the three-point land, and over the course of the season, TSU was attempting an average of 32.2 three-point shots per game.
“This season we play fast and we want to take over the threes, especially when in transition,” TSU head coach Penny Collins said. “If we can get a good quick one up, we are going to take it every time.
