Auburn sits alone at the top of college basketball with 421 made 3-point shots on the season. It's no surprise to see the team that has made the most of the mot valuable shot in the game still in tournament play.
Auburn's electric offense has helped land them in the Sweet Sixteen where they will face off against college "blue-blood" North Carolina, a team that plays a similar up-tempo style of play. North Carolina sits in the top 50 of 3-pointers made on the season with 305.
Auburn's incredible 3-point shooting ranks them as the sole team with 400+ made 3-pointers. The question still remains, will this shooting barrage elevate the Tigers over a historic Tar Heels program? Will this shooting change a program's perception and earn the Tigers an Elite Eight berth? The Tigers have the perfect opportunity Friday to answer the question.
Everybody's heard the saying, "live by the three, and die by the three." It is possible for Auburn's well to run dry from long range, (as seen last year in Auburn's tournament match against Clemson) but Auburn faithful are hoping to continue to add to this historically great 3-point total.
