We were 125th in 3 point defense, 179th in 2 point.  So worse in 2 point.

Something else i just noticed; we allowed 42.7% of opponent shots from 3.  This was 328th (as in we allowed a very high% of shots from 3); the nature of the zone is it allows a lot of 3's, but this is one of our highest %.  Last year we allowed 39.7% of shots from 3, the year before was down at 37.4%.  We are generally in the 37-40 range, though you would expect it to trend up in general because everyone shoots more 3's.

But just as an example, in 2015 we allowed 31.4% success from 3, and 37.4% of opponent attempts from 3.  This year, we gave up 2,017 shots.  Using the numbers from 2015, we would have allowed 754 3's attempted, and about 237 would have gone in.  Instead, we allowed 863 3's, and 295 makes.

The bottom line is we both allowed more 3 pointers to be taken (doesn't have to be a bad thing necessarily) and a higher % of them to go in (this is obviously always  a bad thing)
