Stat of the Week: Can OSU Stay Hot from 3, or Was the Tech Win a Flash in the Pan?

Each week, I scour resources like KenPom.com or Sports Reference looking for some obscure stat that might uncover some trend that had previously escaped me. Or, at least, some different way of looking at the events of the last few days.

But two days removed from yet another signature win in the middle of disappointing losses, I had to keep it simple.

Oklahoma State beat the No. 3-rated defense according to Mr. Pomeroy and did it by catching fire from beyond the 3-point line. This is significant for a couple of reasons.

1. OSU is not a good perimeter shooting team

We’ve heard Mike Boynton try to convince us (and maybe himself) that he believes this team can shoot the deep ball.
