Poor Three-Point Shooting

The Michigan Wolverines shoot the three-point well at 38 percent on the season. However, much of that is bolstered by Isaiah Livers, who’s their best three-point shooter.

Livers took nearly 25 percent of Michigan’s three-point attempts and made nearly 28 percent of their makes.

One thing that stood out in all four of Michigan’s losses is poor three-point shooting:

  • Minnesota: 6 of 22 (27.3 percent)
  • Illinois: 2 of 7 (28.6 percent)
  • Michigan State: 7 of 22 (31.8 percent)
  • Ohio State: 6 of 19 (31.6 percent)

Florida State is allowing teams to make 32. 6 percent of their three-point attempts this season. However, they’ve been better in the tournament, with FSU basketball holding UNC-Greensboro to 25.9 percent and Colorado to 24 percent.

Both teams came into the NCAA Tournament shooting 30 percent and 36.7 percent. The length and athleticism the Noles possess, along with switching every screen should pose problems for the Wolverines.
