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.
