Need a 3

[BigTime]

You need a 3 at the buzzer to win an NCAA tourney game. You can pick any former Sooner in their prime to take said 3.

Who you picking? (abd’s answer has to be a former JUCO Sooner…)

 

[Stikboy]

Tim Heskbolt

 

[ouboomer]

Hollis Price #1a and Buddy Hield 1b for Me....only because of my age and which former players careers i can remember watching...

 

[TINY]

It’s buddy Hield by a landslide. 2nd would be Trae young.

 

[thebigabd]

Probably Austin "big balls" Johnson.... He had that reputation.

Otherwise, Mike Neal..... Mike Neal was an amazing 3pt shooter. One of the best to wear the uniform.

Great question and thread. Senior year Buddy wins in a landslide IMHO. Hollis and Quannas are high on the list. Q seemed to make them when we really needed them. Some of the other names mentioned would also be great options, but many of them weren’t necessarily athletic enough to get off a clean shot when the opposing defense was focusing on them.

Buddy is the best shooter. Period.

Tim McAlester. Hit a game winner at Syracuse in 84 (don't remember if it would have been a 3 had it existed at the time) and at home in 87 against NC State.

David Little would be another contender.

Great call. Too bad he didn’t have the line for his entire career. A guy who absolutely doesn’t belong in this conversation but who was fun to watch was Calvin Curry. He took deep threes before that was a thing. Some national announcers were not fans of his shot selection.

Neither was I...though the story about Curry raising his hand and answering "my jump shot" to Kelvin Sampson's question "What's the strength of our team?" still makes me laugh.

Tmac was a good dude also. I had a couple of classes with him, and he was very laid back.

 

[MJSooner]

1. Senior Year Buddy
2. Kelly Newton
3. Tim Heskett
4. Dave Sieger
5. Hollis Price
6. Nate Erdmann
7. Brent Price
8. Trae Young
Bonus Pick- TMac. Would be higher but only played one year with the 3 PT line.

I ranked my picks based on volume, percentage, and clutch. It is one reason why I have Trae behind the others as he was not an efficient 3 pt shooter.
