What Colby Rogers does with a bit of open space behind the three-point line and the basketball is anything but routine.
It is the routine, however, that makes him special. Wichita State coach Paul Mills appreciates details, routine, and consistency. Rogers also knows the importance of those unexciting building blocks of the thrill of a three-pointer splashing through the nets.
He is one of the American Athletic Conference's best shooters. He is shooting 40.9 percent from three-point range after making 7 of 9 in Saturday's 87-66 win over Rice at Koch Arena. That makes him 12 for 15 in his past two games, following a 5-for-24 slump in the previous four.
