The dunk and three-point shot. Watch a college basketball game these days and players are interested in one or the other.
But what about the mid-range jump shot? Players in this era misfire with regularity from that range. Where are the shooters?
Back in the day there was Rick Mount, a sharpshooting guard at Purdue from 1967-70. Mount averaged over 30 points in his college career and still holds the Mackey Arena scoring record of 61 points, set in a 1970 game against Big Ten champion Iowa.
Brent Musburger gets a lesson from Bobby Knight on how to argue a call in Minnesota's Williams Arena before Thursday night's game between the Golden Gophers and Purdue, won by the Boilermakers, 70-62.
After the jump, a must-see old video of Knight and the Purdue mascot.
