Nothing changes a college basketball game faster than a three-pointer. One shot can swing momentum, fire up the crowd, and force defenses to scramble. What used to be a bonus is now a must-have, and some players have turned the three-point line into their favorite spot on the floor.

Here are eight of the best three-point shooters in college basketball right now players who make every possession feel dangerous.

T-5. Ryan Conwell, Louisville
3.8 threes per game
Louisville’s fast start has a lot to do with Conwell. The 6-foot-4 senior is averaging close to 20 points per game and shooting 40 percent from deep. He brings experience after playing for multiple programs, and it shows in his confidence. If Conwell gets space, he’s pulling the trigger.

T-5. Abdi Bashir Jr., Kansas State
3.8 threes per game
Bashir has become a steady scoring option for Kansas State. After averaging over 20 points last season at Monmouth, he’s carried that shooting touch into the Big 12. He’s hitting nearly four threes a game and keeps defenses stretched with his range.

T-5. Jadin Booth, Samford
3.8 threes per game
Booth has fit perfectly at Samford. The senior guard averages 18.6 points and shoots 40 percent from three. He’s the Bulldogs’ go-to scorer, especially late in games, and his shooting gives Samford a chance every night.

T-5. Milan Momcilovic, Iowa State
3.8 threes per game
Momcilovic has taken a big step forward this season. The 6-foot-8 forward is shooting over 50 percent from three, which is hard to stop at his size. He’s a matchup problem and a key piece for an Iowa State team off to a strong start.

 

4. Tyler Lundblade, Belmont
3.9 threes per game
Lundblade is the engine of Belmont’s offense. He’s shooting nearly 42 percent from deep and averaging 16.6 points per game. Belmont relies on his shooting to open up the floor, especially in close conference games.

T-2. Honor Huff, West Virginia
4.1 threes per game
Huff runs West Virginia’s offense and isn’t afraid to shoot. He takes almost 10 threes per game and hits over 41 percent. His confidence and experience make him a constant threat from well beyond the arc.

T-2. Davion Bailey, Incarnate Word
4.1 threes per game
Bailey leads the nation in three-point attempts and still keeps scoring. He averages 21.8 points per game, and even when defenses know what’s coming, slowing him down hasn’t been easy.

1. Brett Decker Jr., Liberty
4.2 threes per game
Right now, Decker is the most dangerous shooter in the country. He’s making over four threes a game while shooting better than 50 percent. If he gets a clean look, it usually ends with the net snapping.

 

When March arrives, shooting matters more than ever. Games are tight, pressure is high, and one big shot can change everything. These players don’t shy away from the moment, they live for it.
