Kentucky Basketball: Ranking The Top Ten Greatest Three Point Shots of All Time
By J Bill Sosh
No. 10 – The (Lost) Shot That Started the Streak
I wanted to give a slot on the list to the first three point basket that started this streak. It happened on November 28, 1988 versus California in the Great Alaska Shootout. The Cats won 89-71, but alas, there was no, video or play by play chart to be found from this contest. But we have the box score.
This was Coach Eddie Sutton’s lamentable last season at the helm, as Kentucky finished 13-19. Derrick Miller hit the long-range bomb that started it all. The Savannah, Georgia sharpshooter was responsible for exactly 50% (54-108) of the Cats’ made threes that season and it just so happens that he was the only Cat to record a three pointer that day.
