It is time to talk about Marquette women’s basketball’s three-point shooting.
Long time readers will note that I have lamented that head coach Megan Duffy’s interior focused attacks have not been getting much in the way of assistance from MU’s outside shooting. It’s a simple concept: If Rose Nkumu and Jordan King are respected three-point shooters, then Liza Karlen and Frannie Hottinger will have more space to operate on the inside. As a team under Duffy’s direction, Marquette has shot somewhere between 30% and 35% from behind the three-point line every season. This oscillates somewhere between “please stop, actually, this is bad” to “my gut says 35% is just fine, but actually this is top 50 in the country?
