So far the answer is YES. Huskies start out 7/7 from 3-point range and are on pace for 130 points. UW leads 28-15 at the under 12 timeout.
Nebraska allows more 3-point shots than anyone in the Big Ten. Average opponent 3-pt shooting in:
Nebraska B1G Wins- 7/31 (22%)
Nebraska B1G Losses- 13/29 (44%)
Pretty simple for UW tonight. Can the Huskies make open perimeter shots? Hasn't been their forte...

These generally align with Evan Miya's new on-off splits feature which are opponent-adjusted unlike mine. Butler and King have the best numbers but also have been in against easier competition.
Breidenbach has faced hardest opponent slate which likely skews his totals a bit.
