UConn’s win over Memphis on Saturday brought their conference record to 8-4 on the season. Much of their success can be attributed to the three-point shot. The Huskies are currently leading the AAC by shooting 40.7%. They are second to Louisville with 198 threes in conference play.

With the dynamic backcourt of Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright, it’d be natural to assume they would be leading the charge. Or perhaps senior Niels Giffey, who is shooting 50% from deep on the year — among the best in the nation.

A look at the stats, however, reveals junior DeAndre Daniels is UConn’s biggest deep threat against AAC opponents. He’s hitting close to half of his attempts. For more, check out the chart below.
