It has to become a part of their offense or they will not move up in the MAC. Do I think just by taking more it means they will win more of course not! But you cannot make them if you never take them and you will not get out of the bottom of the MAC without taking and making some 3’s

I think this year NIU will not be at the bottom of the MAC for taking 3s because they are dishing off the ball and setting up open looks for teammates. Before this year everything was one on one and most shots were contested. Geno has given up the ball and found open teammates for open 3s and now his stat line is getting fat. In past years after many games I wondered to other NIU fans why can't NIU never get as many open looks at 3 as there opponents. It was never even close. This year has been a different story. I do agree with your tally for Levi that just running out at a guy is not a contested shot.
