Utah's basketball team thrived from 3-point range during the opening week of Pac-12 play, with 52.9-percent shooting in two games. That's probably not sustainable.
Yet coach Larry Krystkowiak plans to keep emphasizing the volume of 3-pointers, compared with his team’s 2-point attempts. The Utes already were in the top 25 nationally in terms of the percentage of 3-pointers among their total shots, and that figure became slightly higher in a win at Arizona State and a loss at Arizona.
For the season, 3-point attempts account for 45.7 percent of Utah’s shots. To validate that strategy, the Utes are shooting 38.
