R.J. Hunter Made 12 Three-Pointers[edit]

I'm not updating the page, but on December 22, 2013 R.J. Hunter of Georgia State made 12 three-pointers. http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=400499360 has the box score. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EvanJ35 (talk • contribs) 21:03, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

3PTA[edit]

Can we add a column for 3PTA. I saw someone who set the JUCO record by going 17-40 on 3s.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:11, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like an interesting, if not relevant, data comparison to have a 3PA column immediately to the right of 3PM, like how it's formatted on List of NCAA Division I men's basketball career 3-point scoring leaders. I don't advocate for a 3P% though because that really is irrelevant in the context of a single game. SportsGuy789 (talk) 23:56, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
User:SportsGuy789, Your comment on 3P% is interesting to me. The NCAA DI record book has two records. One is most without a miss (10). The other is Gary Bossert's highest percentage with 12 or more made recognizing Bossert's 12–14 performance, which is the highest percentage on this page. It is not clear to me if there are 10–11 and 11–12 performances being ignored by the second record, but the ways to eclipse it are to make 12 with less than 2 misses, make 13-18 with at most 2 misses, make 19-24 with at most 3 misses. Seeing that the JUCO record was broken on a 17–40 performance, I think 3P% is significant.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:21, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not significant, it's WP:TRIVIAL. At best it would be suited for a small (keyword small) paragraph at the end of the prose describing these percentage performances, but not for additional columns. The entire point of this article is the most threes made in a game. That's the record at hand. You want to convolute these columns with minutia. Tony, you're a prolific editor, I've known you in passing for like 15+ years, but one of your weak points is that you try to hyper-analyze every single statistic into oblivion and incidentally muddy up the main points of articles, whether biographical or list-class. Adding a 3PA column as I said above is probably a relevant, noted fact for the top-ever 3PM performances, but adding anything beyond that is pure fandom of the statistical variety.

3 other columns I think we should add.[edit]

shooter's team's conference, opponent's conference, opponent's level (DI, DII, DIII, NAIA, JUCO). I am quite sure that Gilbert's performance is the only one against a Power Five conferences, but am not sure whether it is the only one against a high major, because I don't remember which schools were affiliated with the AAC and Big East in which years.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:15, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per my point above, for the love of God not everything needs this level of detail. That information does not matter because it's all tertiary to the record. The point of the article – threes made. Why the hell do you never just leave well enough alone? I seriously don't get it man. You always look for unnecessary information to add into every article. It's weird, honestly. SportsGuy789 (talk) 23:52, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well it is not me. The article already has lots of prose about different levels of opponents. Why say it in prose and not in the table? P.S. what do you think about a 17–40 performance? Still just the makes matter?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:53, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The only one of those criteria that is widely useful in that list is the opponent. The rest is fluff and I can live without opponent too if it came down to it. Rikster2 (talk) 22:49, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 08:47, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gilbert's performance[edit]

It seems that this was the only performance against a top conference school Power Five conferences or maybe High major. Can we note this in the text?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 08:51, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why not. SportsGuy789 (talk) 17:55, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
