The Kentucky Wildcats have a rich history of producing talented basketball players, and this season is no exception. One player in particular is on the verge of breaking a 30-year-old record that has stood the test of time.
Senior guard, Jaxson Robinson, is just 15 three-pointers shy of breaking the Wildcats’ single-season three-point shooting record, which has been held by former UK great, Walter McCarty, since the 1995-1996 season. McCarty, a fan favorite during his playing days, made an impressive 102 three-pointers that year, a record that has yet to be surpassed.
Robinson, a prolific shooter from beyond the arc, has been averaging an impressive 3.5 three-pointers per game this season, and has already recorded 15 games with 4+ three-pointers made. His impressive shooting numbers have been a key factor in the Wildcats’ success this season, and he shows no signs of slowing down.
If Robinson can maintain his current pace, he will likely break McCarty’s record within the next few games. The record-breaking three-pointer would be a testament to Robinson’s hard work and dedication to the sport, and would cement his place in Kentucky Wildcats history.
Wildcats coach, Mark Pope, has been impressed with Robinson’s performance this season, and believes that he has the potential to break the record. “Jaxson has been a dominant force from beyond the arc all season, and it’s no surprise that he’s on pace to break the record,” Pope said. “He’s a talented player who has worked hard to develop his skills, and we’re excited to see him make history.”
Robinson’s record-breaking attempt will be closely watched by Wildcats fans and college basketball enthusiasts alike. Will he be able to break the 30-year-old record and etch his name in the history books? Only time will tell.
