Fun With MAC Basketball Stats: Three-Point Hogs

With the regular season over, we can now have some fun with the statistics in front of us. Here's one I always liked: those dudes hanging out in the perimeter having up nothing but three-point shots. With a minimum of 100 field goals attempted, here are the MAC leaders in highest ratio of 3-point baskets attempted to 2-pointers:

Player Team 3PT 2PT Ratio
Tommy Freeman OHIO 185 39 4.74
Anthony Wright Toledo 118 39 3.03
Steve McNees Akron 169 58 2.91
Derek Thompson EMU 170 60 2.83
Nick Kellogg OHIO 119 51 2.33
Brett McClanahan Akron 176 76 2.32
Antonio Green EMU 99 44 2.25
Chris McHenry Miami 93 43 2.16
Justin Anyijong Toledo 80 43 1.86
Jay Higgins EMU 91 50 1.82
Zach Filzen Buffalo 227 128 1.77
Jesse Berry Ball State 116 68 1.71
Luke Kraus BGSU 72 43 1.67
Randy Davis Ball State 106 67 1.58
Tony Nixon NIU 72 46 1.57
T.J. Hall OHIO 85 56 1.52
Darryl Roberts Akron 110 75 1.47
Randal Holt Kent State 151 107 1.41
Jay Shunnar Toledo 66 50 1.32
Orlando Williams Miami 128 102 1.25

I knew the answer before asking the question, but Freeman wins this game. In fact, his two-point shooting is horrid: of those 39 attempts, he's made just 13 (33.3%). It's all the OHIO senior knows. I can't help but wonder why his free throw attempts don't always sail over the backboard. I don't know what Wright is compensating for — maybe all those minutes lost on the Michigan bench — but his 3-point shooting overall isn't great (34.9%). Still ... it's Toledo, and he's taking them!
