They're ranked eighth nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 38.6% of their attempts from there vs. AO. The team will try to shoot a fair amount of threes, too. Roughly 41.0% of their field goal attempts vs. AO are from long, giving the team a top-75 ranking in that category.
