I hate it when some random comment makes me curious about the actual numbers. In this case the "shooting under 40%" comment from Rainmaker that MBBF quoted. I'm not looking to bust on Rainmaker here, I'm just curious figured I'd share and let people make of the numbers what they will.

Here's yesterday's teams in action (if you want to do Thursday have at it, it was tedious clicking through the box scores)

The numbers are their FG% & 3P%, the parenthetical is number of 3PA of Total FGA not made of attempted. After watching Tennessee crank up 3's all day I was curious about other teamsand decided to note while I was doing this.

SFA 24.7 & 09.5 (21 of 73)
Syracuse - 45.5 & 12.5 (16 of 55)
Tenn - 42.9 & 33.3 (33 of 56)
OkState - 56.6 & 33.3 (21 of 53)
Utah St - 41.5 & 30.4 (23 of 53)
Marquette - 36.2 & 26.3 (19 of 47)
ND State - 41.9 & 41.7 (24 of 62)
Kansas - 50.0 & 33.3 (12 of 64)
Temple - 37.3 & 35.3 (17 of 51)
Arizona St - 51.3 & 57.1 (14 of 39)
ETSU - 30.7 & 18.2 (22 of 75)
Pitt - 43.6 & 36.8 (19 of 55)
Dayton - 46.3 & 40.0 (10 of 54)
WVU - 36.7 & 25.0 (20 of 49)
Cornell - 35.9 & 28.6 (21 of 64)
Mizzou - 47.5 & 25.0 (20 of 59)
Morehead St - 38.5 & 36.4 (11 of 52)
Louisville - 58.0 & 41.7 (24 of 50)
Arizona - 54.5 & 33.3 (12 of 55)
Utah - 42.2 & 25.0 (32 of 64)
USC - 52.9 & 44.4 (9 of 51)
BC - 32.7 & 26.1 (23 of 55)
Portland St - 47.8 & 38.1 (21 of 46)
Xavier - 53.7 & 42.1 (19 of 54)
Siena - 33.3 & 25.0 (24 of 72)
Ohio St - 40.0 & 28.0 (25 of 60)
Cleveland St - 47.7 & 40.0 (15 of 65)
Wake - 52.0 & 38.5 (13 of 50)
Robert Morris - 41.0 & 29.4 (17 of 61)
Michigan St - 45.9 & 30.8 (13 of 61)
Wisconsin - 40.7 & 33.3 (27 of 54)
FSU - 43.5 & 30.8 (13 of 46)

By my count 8 of 32 teams playing yesterday shot under 40%. That looks to be the same number that shot over 50%.

Teams that shot under 40 went 2-6 yesterday, teams that shot over 50 went 7-1 (not surprising).

edit to add: And just because of MBBF's Big 10 note, their Thursday FG% were
Illinois 49.2, Minnesota 40.7, Michigan 39.2, and Purdue 41.2. Only 1 of 7 B10 teams were under 40% shooting although most were right at it, and the one that shot below that mark won their game.

NCAA® Weekly Rankings
The median FG% for all teams this season looks to be 43.8%, just to put some sort of baseline in there somewhere.
