CV nearing the top of the UConn career 3 point list

[pj]

CV's 5 3's today got him up to 260 career 3 pointers made, which ties Shabazz Napier.

He had previously passed all the 3-year players on this list (Ben, Rip, and Ray). Not sure who is left for him to pass. Anyone know where to find the career list online?

Nice, thanks. 16 to go. With 2 regular season games, a few AAC tourney games, and a few NIT or NCAA games, he has a chance. Let's say he plays 6 more games, he needs to average 2.7 per game to tie Rashad.

Wow, if we somehow are able to play 2 or 3 games in the aac and another couple in the NIT he can actually do this.

Moving up on points list too.

Another thing to point out... number of games played. CV has reached this point on the list without playing a single post season game. Bazz and Rash both played multiple post season games.

260 made, 125 games. 2.08/gm average.

Love this metric. CV is in elite company. Dude needs to be on the Huskies of Honor wall one day.

He has an outside chance at 700 rebounds which is insane for a little guy. Hilton Armstrong and Amida Brimah both played for 4 years and don’t even have close to that amount of rebounds

Thought crossed my mind too. Credit him for his hard work and sticking it out and being the team leader that bridged the Ollie and Hurley eras. And he has the scoring stats to back it up.

Is Hilton Armstrong's neck still growing?

All the guys ahead of him had the advantage of playing a lot more games via tournament games

As far as 3-pointers, what I'm seeing is that only Rash has played more games than CV, and barring implosion, by time CV's career is done, he'll probably have tied or passed Rash in games played (currently 125 for CV vs 130 for Rash).

As far as total points, the only player who will have both outscored and played more games than CV in the top 10 is Bazz, as CV will tie or pass both Boat (128) and Chris Smith (127) as CV is guaranteed at least three more games.

That said, here's what CV needs to tie the next four guys above him in total points:
10. J. Adams 25
9. K. Walker 102
8. R. Boatright 105
7. B Gordon 129

CV should pass Adams next week. At his current production (22.6 ppg last 5 games, 17.7 ppg last 10), he'll likely need 5-6 games to pass both Kemba and Boat and at least 8 games to pass Ben.

Yeah that's true but one guy in particular was rarely a starter and played a lot less minutes I'm guessing, that's Rashad. And actually a few 3 year players there too.

CV is playing really well right now, shooting it much better than most of the season and his timing is excellent for that.

As far as the Wall of Honor again we need to look at how many really good players aren't on that wall, guys who were part of NCs and had great careers despite playing with others who stuffed the numbers also. I respect immensely his 4 year career and the last 2 years of improvement as not just a player but a kid, teammate have been truly noteworthy. He deserves his kudo's as a true Husky who played through very rough times for the program. His hard work is 2nd to none who have worn the uni no doubt. Is that enough reason to put him on the wall in front of guys who were better as a players? For me no but I get where you come from if it is enough. But think about the Kevin Freemans, Doron Sheffers, Ryan Boatrights, Donny Marshalls and so many more?

Rashad career minutes played 2728. CV career minutes played 3820.

3 pointers per minute played: Rashad 0.101. CV 0.068.

If Rashad could rebound and play defense like CV, think of the career he would have had. If he'd played on teams as weak as the teams CV played on, think how many more minutes he would have played and 3 pointers he would have made. He would have piled up a 3 point total that might never be broken.
