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 on Thursday night; the Pioneers made them. They were 40 of 111 from the field, shot 51.
