Soctt Bamforth, Tate Unruh Among Top Shooters in NCAA

Every year, Jeff Goodman of CBS Sports lists the top 50 shooters in America, and this year it features two Big Sky players.

Number six on the list is Scott Bamforth of Weber State:

Damian Lillard may not have been the best shooter on his team the last couple of years. Bamforth made 48.8 percent of his 3's as a sophomore despite battling a shoulder injury and last year proved it was no fluke by making 77-of-192 (40 percent) from deep. Bamforth was also among the nation's leaders from the line last season at 87.5 percent.

Number 23 is Tate Unruh of Northern Colorado:

The Bears were the nation's top 3-point shooting team in the nation last season and Unruh is the best shooter on team. He made 46 percent (60-of-130) and shot 42 percent from deep two years ago.

Congrats to both of those guys, who both have beautiful strokes. Hopefully they make good on the preseason publicity!
