What's this?

Three Point Defense... First three opponents have combined for 9-71 from 3

Checking NCAA Stats page.... VT ranks third in 3PT FG defense at 12.7% (JMU ranks first at 8.3% albeit against one less opponent and lesser competition).

Maine went 4-22 (18.2%)
Navy went 3-25 (12%)
Radford went 2-24 (8.3%)

(I understand competition for us is not the best... But Navy hit 11 3's against UVA and Radford hit 6 against UVA)

Is there anything in particular that we are doing to force teams to DREADFUL three point shooting nights against us or is it just that team decided it was gonna have their worst game against us?

That's good, but our free throw defense needs some work. -- nvpbrown 11/16/2021 5:29PM

Radford missed a bunch of wide open shots. We were fortunate in that regard ** -- VTStylez9 11/16/2021 2:31PM

Did the scouting report say "dare them to beat us from 3"... -- vtbball80 11/16/2021 2:54PM
