You jack up a bunch of threes. Just because KU doesn't have ****all to stop 1. OREB, 2. Fast Breaks, 3. 1 on 1 doesn't mean you don't jack a bunch of threes and rely pretty heavily on them. So the only teams that jack a higher % of 3s than you is a team that has Travis Ford as majority of it's firepower and a shit ass team who's offense is to hold the ball and run the shot clock out. They're going to shoot a lot of threes. The only team that actually put up more attempts than you is the shitty team that wants to run the clock out.
WVU that has mostly guard talent? Shoots 3s less often than ISU.
TCU that also employs the hold the ball theory? Shoots 3s less often than ISU.
OU who has also has a bunch of guards and ****all inside other than sometimes Spangler? Shoots 3s less often than ISU.
KU who starts the worst ****ing bigs in Selfs tenure? Shoots 3s less often than you.
Now lets look at when you lose.
Maryland 22.2%
vs. SCU 5.6% (WTF?)
@ BU 52.6%
@ TT 19.4%
@ KU 33.3%
@ OU 48.3%
vs. BU 25.0%
@KSU 40.7%
So all of your bad losses (at home vs Baylor, at TT, South Carolina and Maryland), what do you know you shot a bad percentage.
The losses where you still shot well, were against good teams with maybe the exception of KSU, but they were playing good ball in that stretch, but you can argue you ****ed that one off, sure.
Lets look at your wins vs ranked opponents.
vs. Arkansas 52.6%
@ Iowa 44.4% - You told us Iowa was REALLY GOOD, so I included this one.
@ WVU 35.3%
vs. KU 45.0%
@ UT 42.9%
vs WVU 37.5%
vs OU 36.8%
B 12 UT 45.5%
B 12 OU 36.8%
B 12 KU 12.5%
So you didn't shoot below your average 36.5% in ANY of those games (@ WVU was real close) with the notable exception of KU yesterday, at which point Hoiberg realized we couldn't stay in front of an old grandma cow, chucked his offense out the window and went 1 on 1 and happened to win.
So tell me again that ISU winning doesn't rely on the 3 ball...
