Kentucky basketball guard Koby Brea continues to make history this season, and his hot hand from beyond the arc just earned him a spot in the program’s record books. Brea has now knocked down 84 three-pointers this season, tying him with Antonio Reeves for 10th place on Kentucky’s all-time single-season list.
The sharpshooter’s 44% three-point shooting percentage has been a crucial weapon for the Wildcats this season, especially with the team battling various injuries throughout the lineup. Brea's ability to stretch the floor and knock down shots has kept Kentucky’s offense afloat in key moments, and his consistency from deep is a testament to his hard work and confidence.

- Brandon Knight - 87 (2010–11)
- Antonio Reeves - 84 (2023–24)/Koby Brea - 84 (2024–25)
Brea’s production has been even more impressive considering the additional pressure placed on him due to injuries to several of Kentucky’s key players. Despite the added responsibility, the senior guard has managed to increase his scoring output while remaining efficient from the field. Averaging 11.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game, Brea has cemented himself as one of the Wildcats’ most reliable contributors.
Brea will have several more opportunities to move up the record books if Kentucky keeps winning. With his confidence riding high and his shooting stroke looking as smooth as ever, don’t be surprised if Brea continues to climb this prestigious list.
The Wildcats will certainly be counting on his steady hand and leadership as they push for a deep postseason run. And if Brea’s recent performances are any indication, he’s more than ready to deliver.
What’s Next for Brea?
With at least a few more games left this season, Brea is poised to surpass Antonio Reeves and possibly even challenge Brandon Knight and Kellan Grady for higher spots on the list. BBN will be watching closely as Brea continues his climb into Wildcat history.
