Hield and the rest of the Sooners have poured it in on everyone this season, but can they defy the data that show heavily three-point reliant teams rarely, if ever, win a national title? They have unprecedented long-range accuracy, a multitude of options and no fear of history. "If you're telling me it can't be done," Kruger says, "we're not going to change. This team was made to shoot the three." And this could be the team that truly shoots its way to a championship. Pick against Buddy Love, whose shot, honed in his high-decibel club, has unshakable rhythm, and you're liable to hear what he tells late-closing defenders just after the ball leaves his hand: You messed up.

Gave me chills.

Hield's stroke had become so consistent by his sophomore year that Henson decided to test him. He had read that Curry and Klay Thompson's favorite drill with Golden State was to roam the NBA arc and see how many threes they could make before they missed two in a row; in a 2013 story, SI wrote Curry's high score was 76 and Thompson's was 122. "One day after shootaround I said to Buddy, 'Hey, let's just do this for fun, see how many college threes you can make without missing two in a row.' He got to 142. And it wasn't like make two, miss one, make three, miss one. It was make 20, miss one, make 25, miss one. He just pours it in."

I knew that Buddy knows how to rip the nets from BTA, but the above paragraph made me go, ""DAYUM!!!"
