Syracuse men’s basketball smartly moving the offense inside the arc

For anyone that’s been hanging around the blog since the start of this season (hell, maybe even last season), you’ve probably seen the TNIAAM staff bemoan the volume of three-point shots for a Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team that’s not super accurate from outside. Well, whether Jim Boeheim’s a reader or not, it seems he’s been making adjustments to recent gameplans by de-emphasizing the three. And it’s worked of late, and should be a bigger part of the offense for the remainder of the year.

On the season, Syracuse is hitting just 32.5% of shots from outside — “good” for 232nd in the country.
