Its much harder to make a living with 3s in the NBA, as the 3 point line is moved back about 3 ft from the college line.
The Wisconsin Badgers are a team that relies heavily on the 3 pointer, and defense. They lead the nation in defense, only allowing 48.5 ppg. They are really hit or miss on offense though. If they make the 3s, they will win, but then they have games where they shoot 10% from 3. This strategy has been very successful for them, they are consistently a ranked team (except now), and they had a #1 ranking during the season a few years back.
