Michigan's three-point defense
Michigan is 347th, allowing opponents to make 9.3 three-point shots per game, 362nd with 25.2 attempts against, and 22nd, permitting a 36.9 three-point percentage. The prevailing analysis on Arizona is to make them shoot three-pointers. Arizona has shown the ability to make three-point shots.
Despite Arizona making three-point shots at a high percentage, the expectation should be that the Wildcats continue to take shots beyond the arc as a complementary part of their offense. With focus on the front lines of Arizona and Michigan, Arizona shooters should have open looks on Saturday.
Burries leads Arizona, making 1.8 three-point shots per game on 4.4 attempts. Anthony Dell'Orso makes 1.3 of his 3.9 three-point attempts per game. No other Arizona player makes an average of more than one per game. Dwayne Aristode, Jaden Bradley and Ivan Kharchenkov are the only other Wildcats who take more than one three per game.
