College team attempts NCAA record 111 3-pointers

If you think the NBA is the only basketball league that has become a 3-point dominant league, think again. The math behind giving 50% more points for a shot beyond the arc was always going to eventually make the shot a very popular one. We've seen the 3-point shot explode in the NBA over the past decade, and a lot of our very own Celtics success this season can be attributed to the team's reliance and profiency at the long ball.

Division III Grinnell College took shooting the 3 ball to the extreme yesterday when all 111 of their field gola attempts were 3-pointers, which is a new NCAA record.
