Why Butler is winning

Butler is 12-5, so they must be doing something right. One of them is that they hold opponents to 28% from the arc. (Compare that with our 39.8% number, and it looks REALLY good!). Another thing is their shot discipline. They do not have a bunch of good shooters: only two players average over 35% from the arc. However, those two players have taken 54% of the team's attempts from 3-point range. Putting it another way, they have shooters (not "hopers") shooting.
