Anyone know who now has the next most 3 point streak?

I looked at this morning and one place said it is Chattanooga. I don't remember the number exactly, but they were between 150-180 games behind.

I would ask those who are so upset the streak ended, "do you want the streak or do you want a victory". I want the WIN every time!!

Only message board crazies care about such a meaningless streak. How many games in a row have they had an assist?

 

[cyclones500]

That's a LONG streak, I had forgotten about that. Almost 30 years. I bet that mark stands for a while.

Geeky question, maybe @ConnorFerg can research and add to story: Which players hit the first and last 3 in the streak?

I could try to Google, but why do the work myself?

Last is easy: per the play-by-play of the Arizona game, Sydney Harris hit ISU's last three of the game at the 6:04 mark of the 4th quarter.

Gunderson, a 5-foot-8 guard for the Cyclones, was one of the best 3-point shooters during Fennelly’s tenure at Iowa State. She started the Cyclones' NCAA-record streak of making at least one 3-pointer when she connected on Feb. 19, 1995, at Colorado.

Well, I heard it on my way to work today on a national news outlet (not sports) that would NEVER talk about ISU woman’s basketball. So, someone seems to care.

Yep I was going to guess it was Tara. She had a great career.

Interesting trivia from this box score -- the last time ISU didn't make a three, ISU didn't even ATTEMPT a three.

Crazy that one game there were no 3 pointers attempted and 4 days later 15 were attempted at an abysmal 13% rate.

The 3pt% wasn't the only abysmal thing about that Colorado game...

The streak was a fun bit of trivia and something to look forward to during down/mediocre years, but I’m a “meh” on it ending. I think it’s often (not always! but often) been a product of volume shooting more than efficient, high-powered offense. *Shrug* for me

At least it wasn't ended by Brock Lesner
