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 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 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 ; the women's line remained at the original distance until it was moved to match the then-current men's distance effective in 2011–12. On June 5, 2019, the NCAA men's rules committee voted to extend the men's three-point line to the FIBA distance of , effective in 2019–20 in Division I and 2020–21 in lower NCAA divisions. The women's line remained at 20 ft 9 in until being moved to the FIBA distance in 2021–22. The all-time leader in three-point field goals made and attempts is Antoine Davis of Detroit Mercy. In his still-ongoing career that began in 2018, he has made 584 threes in 1,550 attempts. Only one player in the top 25 all-time earned his way onto this list in only three seasons: Stephen Curry of Davidson played from 2006–07 through 2008–09 but left for the National Basketball Association (NBA) after his junior season. Curry also played in the fewest games (104) out of all of the other players in the top 25 and currently ranks 15th all-time. Three players split their collegiate careers at two schools apiece, and one player split his career between three programs. Keith Veney, who made 409 threes, first played at Lamar before transferring to Marshall; Akeem Richmond (416) started at Rhode Island before transferring to East Carolina; and Andrew Rowsey (404) played two seasons apiece at UNC Asheville and Marquette. The currently active Umoja Gibson (422 through February 28, 2023) started at North Texas before transferring to Oklahoma and later to DePaul. The player with the highest three-point percentage for his career on this list is Fletcher Magee of Wofford, who held the career record for made threes before Davis broke it in 2023, at 43.5%.
