practice it now. The 3 point line is like a magnet. The game is 3 point shots and layups. When the 3 point shot was first implemented the players still had the background of growing up without it and had a more diverse game.

In 1985 the year before the NCAA implemented the 3 point shot Missouri had a team field goal percentage of .524

2018 team field goal percentage is .431 and opponents are even worse at .424

Today's game is less entertaining. Three point shots, layups and free throws.
