Results for: 3-point shooting

UConn Men’s Basketball has secured a campus visit from Koby Brea, the nation’s top 3-point shooter last season at Dayton. Brea, a 6-6 guard from New York, has narrowed his college choices down to five blue-blood schools, including UConn and Duke. His impressive shooting performance, averaging an astounding 49.8% from beyond the arc in his final season with Dayton, makes him a highly sought-after recruit. Industry experts believe UConn has a strong chance of landing Brea due to family connections and the large fan base in the Northeast. UConn is also pursuing other talented players, including top high school recruit Liam McNeeley and Aidan Mahaney from Saint Mary’s.
