Trivia - 3-point shooting accuracy

[tornado]

Trivia Questions:

#1 - who is the highest ranking player in all of D-I basketball in 3-point shooting accuracy?

#2 - who is the highest ranking player who is not a guard (a player listed as either F or C) in 3-point accuracy?

Here are the answers....just mouse over to see...

Here's the link to the up-to-the-minute Official NCAA Division I stats:

http://stats.ncaa.org/rankings/change_sport_year_div

you may have to do the sorting yourself but here's what it shows -

#1 - Corey Hawkins (UC-Davis, son of Hersey Hawkins) is #1 overall in all of DI basketball,
and he's nearly TWO full percentage points ahead of the next closest #2 guy

#2 - Washington, IL's Alec Peters is #7 overall in 3-point accuracy, but he is the highest ranking player who is not a guard!
Wouldn't have been great to land guys like this!

Corey Hawkins is #1 in the NCAA 3-point shooting stats,
and Washington's Alec Peters is #7 nationally


The MVC has only 3 players shooting over 44% on the season- and two of them may not have enough stats to qualify by season's end (Milton Doyle & Marcus Marshall)
..which is unusual since that's always been the staple of MVC success - good 3-pt shooting.
