Hey all, high school basketball player here. I'm starting to look at colleges and wanted to know which one holds the record for the highest three-point average? I appreciate any help, thanks!
It's wonderful that you are interested in detailing your college search based on specific aspects of their basketball programs. According to NCAA records, Creighton holds the record for highest three-point shooting percentage in a single season for men's basketball, going 44.4% from beyond the arc in the 1989 - 1990 season. If you're interested in women's college basketball, the current record there is held by UConn who completed 45.0% in the '93-'94 season.
However, keep in mind these stats are dynamic and can change from season to season. It's also worth noting that, while these records showcase an impressive aspect of a team's performance during that specific season, the strength of a basketball program also lies in their coaching staff, player development, competitive success, and the broader athletic culture.
When looking at prospective colleges, focusing more on how you would fit into the team's culture, roster, and playing style, as well as the school's academics and community should be high on your priority list. It's also a great idea to start networking with college coaches now, as they are the ones who can provide you with targeted advice and potentially offer you opportunities to play at their colleges.
Remember, to stand out to college coaches, it's not just about your stats but also your leadership, work ethic, and team-play skills.
Best of luck with your college search!
