CHEROKEE, N.C. — Watch a basketball game at any level involving any gender, and in the first minutes, someone will shoot a 3-pointer.
And then another. And another.
The value of a 3-point shot has remained the same during the past decade —three points. But its place in the game has grown in stature, accelerating the usage of 3s.
The University of Toledo women’s basketball team is no different. Head coach Ginny Boggess doesn’t want the Rockets shooting 35 3s per game, but it’s an active ingredient in the offense.
“I don’t want to rely heavily on it,” Boggess said.
