Villanova has become a powerhouse because they have accepted the reality of today's basketball - nothing matters but the 3. They put (at least) four players who can shoot the 3, and shoot it well, on the floor at all times. The basketball fathers have created a deformed monster, so Villanova decided to make the monster work for them. That philosophy made them good. Add to that the fact that they have very good players running that philosophy, and it made them great.
Just mark it down that the percentage of shots being taken from the arc will continue to climb until the rules are changed to do something about it. Nothing else matters. Why pretend otherwise?
