Earl Belcher has to be my choice. He didn't really have a jump shot from downtown, but he had basically an unbelieveable set shot. If he had time to get his feet set, he never missed. I'll never forget the game in 1981 (I think) against Pitt when they had that behometh, Sam Clancy. The guy was 6'7" and was built like a brick ____house. Earl didn't want to bang all night as Sam was also leading the country in rebounds, so he hung way outside in the corner and just dropped bombs.

Previously some mentioned Tom Stith and John Mahonchak.
Tom could post up anyone and had the sweetest hook you would ever see, then he would go outside with those great left handed "fadeaway" shots (unblockable). The best offensive machine I ever saw in person.
Mahonchak's shots brought rain. With a quick flick the shot was off and headed into the basket. I remember one game where he could not miss (either 10-10 or 12-12), which in today's game would be 3 pointers.

I'd definitely say Bremer. While Green holds the record, Bremer had less opportunities with the greater talent around him to shoot more attempts. Marques had to shoot all those attempts to keep us competitive when the teams he was on in the last two years would struggle. On the other hand, Green was the only threat on his team. He had to make those with the opposing team setting their defense solely to stop him. Green would have been an even more impressive player on a good team. At 6' he'd have started in the NBA. He gets my vote. |

I feel the best long range shooter in the history of college basketball was Calvin Murphy. He had 66 against the Cuse (before the three point line) and 75% of them would have been three's. He averaged 38 ppg his senior year.
What an All America team that was Lanier,Mount,Maravich,Murphy and Issel. One of the all time best All America teams.

Willie Mangham, Calvin Murphy was a one man show at Niagara his soph and junior year,however with a better supporting cast his senior year he toned down his me,me,me game and played some team ball averaging 29 points a game. Soph year he averaged 38ppg and 35ppg his junior year.25% of his points came from the charity stripe which he frequented when he was stone cold or was being shut down by the likes of Kalbaugh.I believe I remember a game in which Billy the kid shut him down to a handful of FGs; Calvin starting driving the hoop and ended with 16 points from the FT line to pad his stats. Syracuse, by the way, was a soft team in those years.He shot about 42-43% from the field

How about a "shout out" for Isaac King?? January 30, 1999: EIGHT three pointers leading the Bonnies to a 74-59 upset win at the Reilly Center over the Temple Owls, who came in with a 10-game A-10 win streak....Has to at least be one of the best 3-point shooting performances in Bona history, if he's not in the top 3 of all time long range shooters for us.....

Coach, that night Isaac was as good as Chris Mathews. I think I have to go with Belcher (in my time). I'm sure that there were many great shooters pre-1980, many are often mentioned on this Board. I haven't seen them, so can't weigh-in. Are you making the trek to the RC tonight? |
