Tied a record tonight

[Kemba'sYogurt]

16 made threes which tied the record from 1995 in the NCAA tourney against Cincinnati. Congrats fellas!!

Edit: turns out we may have actually set the record tonight! We also tied the American record for 3's so maybe I'm just getting confused but hey!

Yes sir!! And turns out we did break the record tonight

In December we all would have expected a most missed 3s record - team, conference and NCAA
who would have thunk this happened
I was sitting in awe

@gtcam yup, I was just about to say, go figure that this is the team that breaks the record. Not the ones with Ray Allen that pressed and played up-tempo, but the one with six players and zero guys you would consider reliable outside shooters. Playing USF helps, I guess.

I'm pretty sure Jalen doubled his total made threes for the year tonight.

I'm pretty sure Jalen doubled his total made threes for the year tonight.

I know you're just kidding around but for the season he's 28-73 for 38.4%, which is pretty good. Not great, but above average. So before last night he was 22 for 65 for 33.9%, which isn't very good. So I guess you're right and last night really helped his percentage.

He's shot 73 threes in 22 games, or 3.3 per game. I wonder how many threes the better scoring point guards in college shoot per game? Should he be shooting more than 3.3 per game? As a comparison Purvis has shot 152 threes (in 23 games) and made 50 for 32.9%. That's 6.6 per game, double what Adams shoots.

I was curious about it so I tried to track it down. Yes, it was the 2nd round game, after the squad slept-walked through Tennessee-Chattanooga. But the announcers got it wrong, Cinci actually buried 15-30 threes (Huggins said in his post game-presser that 30 threes attempted was far too many). It looks like UConn was a far more pedestrian 6-13.

Connecticut 96 Cincinnati 91

15 was the record for UConn, but it was against Hartford on 12/28/1997 (Khalid had 7 and Rip had 4): El-amin Comes To Play
