James Madison University's men's basketball team tied an NCAA record by making 45 three-pointers in a game against the University of Kentucky on November 9, 2026. The barrage from beyond the arc exposed significant defensive vulnerabilities for the Wildcats.
The Dukes' historic shooting performance matched the single-game record for three-pointers made by a Division I team. Kentucky's defense struggled to contain the perimeter attack throughout the contest.
The result underscores the growing emphasis on three-point shooting in college basketball and raises questions about Kentucky's defensive schemes moving forward.
