Salim Stoudamire did it once just barely, according to this list he's the only one:

Only 15 players have ever shot 50% or better on threes in a season.

I guess they are using the threshold of 2.5 makes per game. Conklin who holds the Big 12 record is at .559 and he doesn't appear on the list, but the Big 12 only requires 2.0 makes per game.

edit: I guess the list above is only players who made at least 2.5 threes per game, so maybe there are some lower-volume guys who did it, but for someone with Milan's shooting/scoring volume it's exceedingly rare.

Thank you!

Thank you!

If you click on the Yearly 3Pt Field Goal Percentage, Tyrus McGee led in 2012-2013, and Milan leads so far this year.

Last time I checked the objective of the game of basketball was to put the ball through the hoop. There’s not 20 better players than Milan at that.

Count probably remove the quote stating Lipsey is playing fully healthy this season as well

Hasn't been as efficient offensively as he was earlier in the season, makes one wonder if he is fully healthy. Still playing D and getting steals at a high rate.

And to keep the other team from putting the ball in the basket. Milan has gotten lots better at that this year, but there are likely more than 20 players better than him at that end of the court, but his shooting is SO elite.

He seems like he is kind of stuck in the middle right now, won't shoot a pull up jumper, but doesn't really take it strong to the rim, he has just kind of been flipping the ball towards the rim recently I noticed.

Milan's never going to be a demon on on-ball defense but he's sneaky-good in our defensive system. When there's a breakdown it's rarely because he missed a rotation or something.

And he's become more opportunistic coming from off-ball spots to step into passing lanes, too. Per Basketball Reference, his steal rate has jumped to 2% this season, from 0.8% last year and 1% his freshman year.

JJ at 3? Wow, didn't think he'd be that high but cool to see. He really is a jack of all trades player, does everything well but not flashy, so I'm pleasantly surprised to see the respect.
Three Cyclones in the top 30 is pretty surreal but all three are worthy. We need more from the bench if this team is to be a Final 4 contender though.

You should be happy about last nights game then. ISU's bench buried the CU bench.

Only three teams with three players on the list: Arizona, UConn and ISU. ISU's average player ranking is the highest.
