The point isn't that KU's 3PT defense is poor. It's fine. The point is to reduce the luck factor. The more threes a team takes, the more luck there is involved in the outcome and the greater chance there is of an inferior team pulling off an upset. It's actually not that bad of a draw considering that (they aren't running into Iowa St, Illinois, Belmont, Wisconsin, Davidson, Valpo, or Creighton who base their entire offenses around the 3 ball).
