It still boils down to efficiency, and it is hard to get guys that can defend the post and shoot 3s. So CONSISTENTLY making the math work in college is tough.

Well you can't be absolutely trash defensively (Iowa State) and win even if you take the most threes. It's why I'm picking the Warriors over the Rockets this year even though Houston is far better analytically in that regard.
That doesn't mean that the strategy to take more threes isn't a sound one and always has been, though. You're right that it's tougher in college, partially due to there being not as many good shooters readily available, but Villanova is obviously intentionally recruiting shooters for exactly that purpose.
