Message: [QUOTE="Millhouse, post: 1224535, member: 78"] This is from 1997 on Filtered to players that shoot 4 or more 3 pointers a game that played in more than 10 games Wanted to limit it to the real 3 point shooters. The correlation of free throw percentage and 3 point percentage for Syracuse players meeting the criteria is .33 For Duke, it's .5 For Louisville, it's .64 Those are big differences and all those players shoot about the same from the line. Average up all those SU players, they shoot 78 % (i'm just taking each player's % and averaging it - it's unweighted) Duke 78%, Louisville 71%. They have a few real strange players who are terrible at shooting from anywhere that took lots of 3s. There's something odd about SU where guys aren't getting good looks like they do at Duke. If duke was so much better at shooting than SU, their guys would be better at the free throw line. [/QUOTE]
