This article is a rediculous pile of crap. KU has already proven that they can beat your brains in within the paint, and a few other teams have noticed it too. With the way Texas played defense, Kansas hardly had a choice but to fire away. The longhorns clogged it up inside and dared the Jayhawks to beat them from outside, so Kansas took advantage of wide-open 3's all day.

Portland State didnt exactly play great defense, so KU could have gone inside more if they wanted, but bottom line: if a good 3-point shooter is given a wide-open shot, they should have no hesitation. When the shot is wide-open and your good enough to hit it, there's no such thing as shooting too many 3's. If the jayhawks had hands in their faces all day and still pulled 3's out of their asses, that would be different.

Duke won a lot of games for a long time with the 3-point shot. Their weakness has occasionally been a weak inside game, but Kansas is well-balanced all the way around. If UNLV roams out to the 3-point line, then you'll see more dunks and 10-foot jump shots. If UNLV decides that they cant afford to let anyone come within 15 feet of the basket, then the Jayhawks will and should fire away from outside.

Nearly every champion (other than those who are 1-dimensional and lucky) can do both, shoot it from outside and drive inside without relying too heavily on any one player.
