Look at the other winners these past 2 days today and their 3-pt attempts as a percentage of their overall shot attempts:

Baylor: 4/71 = 5.6%
Notre Dame: 10/69 = 14.5%
Iowa = 18/57 = 31.6%
UConn = 15/58 = 25.9%
Mississippi State = 11/54 = 20.4%
Louisville = 17/57 = 29.8%
Oregon = 20/58 = 34.5%

Meanwhile, 42.6% of our shot attempts were 3-pointers today and that makes us too vulnerable to being dependent on hot shooting nights. Luckily our defense carried the day, but with Notre Dame's explosive offense, that won't be enough on Monday

Over the course of the full season, 41.3% of Stanford's shot attempts were three-point attempts (898 of 2176). That is very consistent with the percentage against Missouri State (42.6%). So Stanford was doing what it has been doing all season long -- shooting lots of threes. Many of those shots were open. They just weren't falling. I would expect better three-point shooting against Notre Dame.
