Three-point caps

-

Arkansas made a seasonhigh 11 three-pointers in its 97-65 win over Georgia last week, making Mississipp­i State the only SEC team that has not made double-figure three-point shots in any game.

The Razorbacks’ seasonhigh for made three-pointers had been eight, done in games against Louisville and Creighton in Hawaii, and also in home wins over San Jose State and Ole Miss.

The Bulldogs’ season high is nine made three-pointers accomplish­ed twice, in a 52-49 win over Utah and a 78-67 home loss to Alabama. Mississipp­i State is the only SEC school to have an 0-for from three-point range in SEC play this year, an 0-for18 effort in a 69-63 loss at Auburn on Jan. 14. The Tigers outscored their visitors by 33 points from three-point range as they made 11 of 25 tries.

Alabama, the SEC’s runaway leader in threepoint­ers taken (845) and made (294), has the league high of 21 made threes in a game against Jacksonvil­le State. The Crimson Tide has also hit double figures in made threepoint­ers 13 times, but that does not lead the SEC.

That distinctio­n belongs to Missouri, which has hit double figures 15 times, including a season-high 16 in games against Penn and Ole Miss.

Tennessee and Vanderbilt are the only other SEC team with double-figure games with 10-plus made threepoint­ers with 11 and 10, respective­ly. The rest of the league’s number of games with double-figure made threes: Florida 7, LSU and South Carolina 6, Georgia and Kentucky 5, Ole Miss 3, Auburn and Texas A&M 2, Arkansas and Mississipp­i State 1.
