Stanford Women's Basketball Showing Early Season Success From Deep
Hot-Shooting Cardinal Knock Down Three-Pointers At Record Pace
The Stanford women's basketball team is off to a 5-0 start this season, and one of the biggest reasons for their success has been their shooting from beyond the arc. The Cardinal are shooting 43.6% from three-point range, which is the best mark in the country. They have made at least 10 three-pointers in each of their first five games, and they have hit 50 three-pointers in total.
Stanford has a number of players who can shoot the three-pointer, but their two leading scorers, Haley Jones and Fran Belibi, have been particularly impressive from long range. Jones is shooting 48.4% from three-point range, and Belibi is shooting 47.4%.
The Cardinal's success from deep has been a major factor in their wins over some tough opponents. They beat No. 10 Oregon by 18 points, and they beat No. 16 Gonzaga by 19 points. In both of those games, Stanford made more three-pointers than their opponents.
Cardinal Looking To Continue Success
Stanford will look to continue their success from deep when they face No. 2 Maryland on Sunday. The Terrapins are one of the best teams in the country, and they will be a tough test for the Cardinal. However, if Stanford can continue to shoot the three-pointer well, they will have a good chance of winning the game.
The Cardinal's success from deep is a good sign for their chances of making a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. They have the talent and the experience to compete with anyone, and if they can continue to shoot the three-pointer well, they will be a tough team to beat.
