New 3 point line

Rivals.com College Basketball - Preseason story line No. 3: New 3-point line

The 3 point line is now moved back 1 foot from 19 feet 9 inches to 20-9. This will be interesting to see how many teams will try to drive inside the lane instead of shooting the long ball.

After watching the Vols shoot twenty-six 3's vs. Tusculum, it doesn't look like our number of attempts is going to be affected.

Agreed, especially with Chism hammering 3 after 3 after 3. Once in a while, he actually hits one!!

a good shooter is a good shooter. that little bit wont be that big a difference. IMO

Exactly! I dont think the 3pt line would have ever effected players like Lofton and JJ Reddick.

I don't think it will be that much of a big deal to a pure shooter, we will see.
