List of NCAA Division I men 's Basketball players with 12 or more 3 - point field goals in a game - wikipedia List of NCAA Division I men 's Basketball players with 12 or more 3 - point field goals in a game A three - point field goal ( also known as a `` three - pointer '' or `` 3 - pointer '' ) is a field goal in a basketball game, made from beyond the three - point line, a designated arc radiating from the basket. A successful attempt is worth three points, in contrast to the two points awarded for shots made inside the three - point line. The National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA ) keeps records of the Division I 3 - point field made in a game leaders. The statistic was first recognized in the 1986 -- 87 season when 3 - point field goals were officially instituted by the NCAA. From the 1986 -- 87 season through the 2007 -- 08 season, the three - point perimeter was marked at 19 ft 9 in ( 6.02 m ) for both men 's and women 's college basketball. On May 3, 2007, the NCAA men 's basketball rules committee passed a measure to extend the distance of the men 's three - point line back to 20 ft 9 in ( 6.32 m ), while the women 's line would remain the same. Through January 6, 2017, only 17 players have made at least 12 three - point field goals in a single game. The all - time record is 15, which has only occurred one time and it was by Marshall 's Keith Veney. On December 14, 1996, he set the record against Morehead State. Only three other players have made 14 three - pointers : Ronald Blackshear, Dave Jamerson and Askia Jones. The most recent player to make 12 threes in a game is Darius Dawkins of Jacksonville, who made 13 three - pointers against Middle Georgia State on January 3, 2017. Key Pos. Ref.
