THREE’S COMPANY 30 years after its inception, more teams than ever shoot the 3

By Matthew Gutierrez senior staff writer

I

n April 1986, a black line was taped around each key of the Christian Brothers Academy basketball court for an under-19 AAU tournament. Any shot made from behind the lines, which were 20 feet, 8 inches from the basket, counted as three points.

A few months later, the 3-point arc was painted on the Carrier Dome court only few miles west of CBA. Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim vehemently opposed it, just like fellow head coaches across the country who believed it would stretch the floor and turn the game into a shooting contest. Thirty years later, the line has ushered in a whole new style of basketball and changed the collegiate landscape.

This season marks the 30th anniversary of the 3-point shot’s debut in college basketball. A 19-foot, 9-inch arc was officially established for all schools at the start of the 1986-87 season, then was extended to 20 feet, 9 inches for the 2008-09 season.

Basketball analysts say the shot has taken on new meaning in recent years because of several factors, not the least of which is the rise of the shot in the NBA. Many teams recruit for it. They practice it. And they live and die by it.

“It’s called the Golden State effect, man,” said ESPN analyst Jay Williams, the national college player of the year in 2002 at Duke who hit 39 percent of his career 3s.

“When I work with kids, the first thing they do is start chucking 3s. The style in which the game is being played is you have the versatility of the power forwards and centers. You have bigs who want to shoot 3s, too.”

The 3-point shot is deadly. It’s a shot in which you create a lot of points in a short amount of time.

Brandon Triche former su guard

Three-point attempts rose each successive season between 1987 and 2008, when the line was moved back a foot. After a lull period, the number of 3s has exploded.

During the 2013-14 season, teams took 32.9 percent of their shots from deep. It jumped to 34.2 percent in 201415, 35.4 percent in 2015-16 and 36.4 percent last season.

Syracuse doesn’t rank within the top 50 in 3-point field goal attempts per game this season, though its next opponent, Colgate, does. While the Orange make just five 3s per game — tied-336th in the country — the Raiders average 11.3 3-point makes per game, 12th in the country. It is reflective of a wider trend rooted in AAU, high school and lower levels. A high school basketball team in Pine City, Minnesota, almost exclusively shoots 3-pointers and layups.

Both Williams and Jay Bilas of ESPN said players are spreading out the floor more over the past several years.

There’s more of a premium on shooting in both recruitment and retainment of players because a 3-pointer is a higher-value shot than a regular basket. The most efficient shots on a basketball floor come at the free-throw line, via the layup or behind the arc, Bilas said.

It’s a trickle-down effect from the NBA, whose teams, for the sixth consecutive year, took more 3-pointers than ever last season. Eleven years ago, no NBA team averaged more than 24 3-point attempts per game. Last season, 22 of 30 teams exceeded that mark.

Teams are working out the math at both the pro and college level: 3s are worth more than 2s. Shooting 33 percent from 3 is equivalent to shooting 50 percent from inside the arc. Three-pointers are a quick way to generate points without having to chew the clock it takes for an open layup.

3-pointers offensive rebound and kick it out,” said Bilas, who played forward at Duke from 1982-86, the final seasons before the 3-point line was added. “Now they’re kicking it out for a step in 3. That’s the best 3 you get: after an offensive rebound. You get an offensive rebound, if you don’t have an immediate stick back, you look out, you get a shot that would take you 25 seconds of brilliant offense to get.”

Number of 3-pointers Syracuse averages per contest, ranking near the bottom of the country at 336th

In the shot’s inaugural season, Syracuse advanced to the national championships game but was beaten by the 3-point shooting of the Indiana Hoosiers. Keith Smart hit a midrange jumper to lift Indiana over Syracuse with five seconds on the clock. That shot wasn’t from behind the arc, but the Hoosiers were only in position to shoot a game-winner because Steve Alford had gone 7-for-10 from deep.

Syracuse’s lone national title, in 2003, could not have been won without freshmen Carmelo Anthony and Gerry McNamara. Now an assistant coach at SU, McNamara hit six consecutive 3-pointers in the title game — all in the first half. McNamara shot 35.7 percent from behind the arc his freshman season and Anthony, now an NBA star, shot 33.7 percent from 3.

A year ago, graduate transfer Andrew White broke McNamara’s program singleseason 3-point field goal record, knocking down 109. Syracuse’s 1987 Final Four run, the shot’s first season, was built on the shooting of Greg Monroe, a year during which the Orange shot a program record 40.3 percent from deep.

Later, the 1995-96 run was powered by Marius

Janulis and Todd Burgan’s abilities to spread the floor with the 3.

“It’s mandatory if you want to win big, you have to have shooters to get momentum with the 3 ball,” ESPN analyst Dick Vitale said. “That shot is momentum. It breaks up certain spurts on team. It’s tough to offset. The 3-point shot has become a weapon needed to really be a superteam.”

The Orange went 30-5 in 2009-10, when SU shot 39.1 percent from 3-point range. Brandon Triche, a starting guard on that team, said the 3-point shot has almost come to remove the midrange game. While he prefers the 17-footer, he said he knows teams are drawing up more plays specifically to generate an open 3-point shot. Triche said he has been taught throughout his career to run back to the paint on transition defense, a time when teams are most vulnerable to be hit by a 3.

“The 3-point shot is deadly,” said Triche, who drilled 173 3-pointers as a four-year starter at Syracuse from 2009-13. “It’s a shot in which you create a lot of points in a short amount of time. And it’s demoralizing. It’s hard if someone can dribble to take away the shot and drive and defend the 3. For the most part, you have to give up one.”

That is why teams are deciding to play small and spread the floor, Bilas said. Not every team can play 6-foot-11 centers, but many more teams can recruit and cultivate shooting talent.

Against teams that play a zone or have a size advantage, both of which Syracuse has, teams try to compensate for lack of size or interior presence by shooting 3s, Williams said.

The balance of power in college basketball has transferred to those who can shoot the trifecta. The shot has redefined the identities of perennial powers and Cinderella teams alike.

Analysts said it has made games faster-paced and brought fans out of their seats. It could phase out soon and big men could soon become the face of the game again, Williams said. But recent years show the 3-point shot has no end in sight.

“Teams always shoot a lot of 3s against us,” Boeheim said. “We like it when they shoot a lot, as long as they don’t make a lot.” mguti100@syr.edu | @Matthewgut21

Burns lands at Colgate after Division II decommitment

By KJ Edelman staff writer

At 17 years old, Jordan Burns turned to meditation to help him find his way. The then-junior in high school wasn’t sure if his commitment to play Division II basketball at Midwestern State was best for him. So, he turned to God. He wrote seven lines of scripture on the wall above his bed and arranged them as a pyramid with phrases like “No weapon against me shall prosper” and “Fear not, for God is with you.”

The phrases guided him in the direction of Division I basketball, despite not being recruited. And that’s when he met Colgate head coach Matt Langel. The Colgate coach originally set out to recruit fellow San Antonio native David Favorite, said Burns’ father, Eroy.

This led to a formal introduction between Langel and Burns, and eventually a spot on Colgate’s roster.

“He has to fight hard for everything he has,” Arenda Burns, Jordan’s mother, said, “because he never wanted to feel like a loser.”

Two years after meeting Langel, Burns is now the second leading scorer for Colgate (3-5). The freshman guard is averaging 13.5 points and 2.4 assists per game off the bench with a 52 percent from the floor. The San Antonio native’s mid-range shot and driving ability are shining, Langel said. Colgate, which returns 93 percent of its scoring production from last season, will enter the Carrier Dome on Saturday to tip off against Syracuse (7-1). “(Burns’) talent is deserving of opportunity,” Langel said.

Despite his talent, Burns wasn’t always focused on basketball. He was a standout football player in middle school, Arenda said.

Burns played five positions, primarily quarterback, while playing basketball on the side. But something was missing.

A friend of Burns recommended that he should focus on playing football because “he was too short to excel in basketball,” Arenda said.

“He snapped,” Arenda said.

This lead him to a DunkNow DVD, a video program that taught kids how to improve their vertical jumps. Burns, who was well under 6 feet tall at the time, played the disc every night.

He wanted to learn how to dunk, Eroy Burns said. One night, Eroy Burns came home from work and heard a loud, banging sound downstairs. After trying to improve his jumping ability, Burns was finally able to hit the ceiling fan in the family’s living room with his head.

He has to fight hard for everything he has because he never wanted to feel like a loser.

Arenda Burns jordan’s mother

Years later the jumping transitioned to the basketball court. The point guard dunked over 30 times during his senior season, according to Reggie Ollendieck, the head coach at Burns’ high school, Marshall (Texas).

Burns has been doing more than just dunking for Colgate in his first season with the Raiders.

On Nov. 19 against University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Burns scored 26 points on 12 of 15 shooting with three rebounds and three assists.

Burns said Langel put the ball in his hands near the end of the game. With just under three minutes remaining and Colgate up one point, Burns made two layups and sank a jumper to account for six of the Raiders’ final 12 points.

“He’s got the leadership trait,” Langel said. “… It’s easy to adjust (as a team) to his personality type.” kjedelma@syr.edu

Opponent preview: What to expect from Syracuse-Colgate

By Matthew Gutierrez senior staff writer

After downing Connecticut on Tuesday night, Syracuse (7-1) returns home to the Carrier Dome to host Colgate (3-5). The Raiders are coming off a two-point loss at Marist on Wednesday night and opened their season at Connecticut and lost, 70-58. The Orange beat the Huskies, 72-63, Tuesday night in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden.

Syracuse’s only loss thus far came against No. 2 Kansas last Saturday.

On Saturday at 2 p.m., the Orange and Raiders tip off for the 170th time. Here’s what you need to know about Colgate.

Rayman (16.6 points per game), Jordan Burns (13.5), Swopshire 12.8 and O’Brien (10.5) are the leading scorers. Rayman has connected on 59.1 percent of his 3s and averages a team-high 7.1 rebounds per game.

All-time series: Syracuse leads, 124-45

ing Colgate for the 52nd consecutive time should not be a challenge for Syracuse, which has more talent and a significant size advantage. The Orange could prove vulnerable to weaker opponents if a team like Colgate can hit about 50 percent of its 3s, the shot on which much of its offense depends.

But that would be difficult to maintain over an entire game on the road, and Syracuse is a deeper team.

night last season, Syracuse beat the Raiders, 83-55. Tyler Roberson scored 18 points, Andrew White 17 and Frank Howard 11. Tyus Battle scored six points and Paschal Chukwu added four in the blowout win in front of 23,844 at the Carrier Dome. outside the top 100 in every major statistical category save for 3-point field goals per game and 3-point percentage. Colgate hits 11.3 3s per game, good for 10th in the country. The Raiders have connected on 39.6 percent of their attempts from deep, putting them at 49th in the country.

Head coach Matt Langel is in his seventh season in Hamilton. He welcomed back six players who made at least 14 starts a season ago, including sophomore forward Will Rayman and senior guard Sean O’Brien. Rayman, O’Brien and Jordan Swopshire are the team’s three returning double-digit scorers.

Colgate finished 10-22 last season, but has four players averaging double-digit points this season.

The Orange has not lost to Colgate since Feb. 24, 1962 and has won 51 consecutive contests the Raiders. That’s the longest active winning streak in a Division I series. The Orange and Raiders have played each other 169 times since the 1901-02 season. cuse an 88 percent chance to beat Colgate

Player to watch: Will Rayman, forward,

No. 10 The 6-foot-8 sophomore was the Patriot League Rookie of the Year last season, scoring a team-best 14.6 points per game, which ranked ninth-best in the conference. He had 23 double-digit scoring games over 32 games and 26 starts a year ago. This season, he leads Colgate in scoring, starting with a 19-point outing against UConn in the season opener.

He can stretch the floor with length and an ability to knock down 3s, as he hit 65 threepointers last year, a freshman single-season program record. mguti100@syr.edu

SAM FORTIER (8-0) syracuse 79, colgate 60

MY SHINY TEETH AND ME A 3-5 Red Raiders squad that doesn’t shoot particularly well from the outside or boast anyone taller than 6-foot-9 on its roster is tough to pick.

Plus, the team’s two best players — Jordan Burns and Will Rayman — are underclassmen. This game serves as a tune-up for Syracuse players hoping to get back on track like Frank Howard, and lower-tier opposition to continue boosting confidence like Matthew Moyer and Oshae Brissett.

Syracuse rolls over Colgate to prepare for finals week.

MATTHEW GUTIERREZ (8-0) syracuse 83, colgate 57

CLEAN SMILE The Orange can ride a sizable win over Hamilton foe Colgate ahead of a more even matchup at Georgetown Dec. 16.

A rollover against the Raiders could be the second win of an important nonconference December slate for SU, as the Orange also plays non-Power 5 schools such as Buffalo, St. Bonaventure and Eastern Michigan this month. Syracuse should take care of all of them, starting with Colgate.

TOMER LANGER (8-0) syracuse 83, colgate 64

SCRUBBED Syracuse escaped its toughest threegame stretch so far with a 2-1 record, playing at a level we’d expect. Now, the Orange will get a much easier matchup against Colgate. Frank Howard played terribly on Tuesday and SU still won. I don’t think he plays that poorly again, and I don’t think this game winds up being particularly close.

Saturday’s matchup is the 170th meeting between Colgate and Syracuse. The last time Colgate defeated Syracuse was in February 1962. Here’s what also happened in 1962: • Jim Boeheim joined the SU team that fall as a player • The Cuban Missile Crisis took place in October • The first James Bond film, “Dr. No,” was released in the United Kingdom • “The Jetsons” debuted • John Glenn became the first American to orbit Earth
