we can all see the average three point % against is fine this year but people seem to think that the zone might work a lot of the time but get torched from time to time more than man.

we gave up 46% shooting 6 times this year.  150 other teams gave up 46% that much or more
47% happened 5 times - 117 teams were that bad
50% 4 times. 109 teams were that bad or worse (a lot more teams were better of course)
57% happened twice.  Only 49 teams were that bad.

i only looked at this year but i think it's fair to say the zone works overall but when it goes bad it goes real bad.  we're tied for 43rd in most games holding teams to 32% or less

the thing about the zone that's interesting is there are a lot of games where teams keep chucking up lots of 3s with a bad percentage

we lead the country in games since 2011 where a team shoots 33% or worse on 33 or more shots

i would've never guessed this next stat.  (EDIT the reason I never would've guessed it is because everything that follows is totally wrong - i'm sorry) what is our record when we give up 40% from three in the tournament since 2011?

8 wins 1 loss.  The one loss is to Baylor.

when the other team shoots 33% or worse our record is 6-5.
