I missed seeing this story over the weekend.
ESPN - Grinnell College attempts NCAA record 111 3-pointers in win
I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around this. They play fast and shoot quick. The thing is, they shoot pretty well, at least in this game.
111 shots in a game is insane on its own, but all from three is....
It may not be the best way to win games, but I could see how playing their style could be fun for those in the system.
ESPN - Grinnell College attempts NCAA record 111 3-pointers in win
GRINNELL, Iowa -- Grinnell College set an NCAA men's basketball record for 3-point attempts when it tried every one of its 111 shots from beyond the arc in the Division III school's 124-67 victory over Emmaus Bible College.
The number eclipsed the 109 3-point shots Troy attempted in its infamous game against DeVry on Jan. 12, 1992, when the Trojans won 258-141 in what is still the highest-scoring game in NCAA history.
Grinnell didn't just shoot a lot of 3s Thursday night; the Pioneers made them. They were 40-of-111 from the field, shot 51.1% in the second half, and their total made 3s is second in NCAA history behind the 42 they made against Emmaus in 2018.
The Pioneers are no strangers to making history.
