    Favorite or Most Memorable 3 Pointer

    With the 3 point streak at 999 games I thought it would interesting to see what others most favorite or memorbale 3 pointer has been since the inception the rule in 1987?

    Here are a few of mine and probably yours too.

    My favorite and most memorable was when Cameron Mills and Scott Padget hit three pointers late in the 1998 Duke game. Living in northern Virginia I believe I could hear the state of Kentucky roar when Padgett hit his.

    Anthony Epps three to tie the 1997 championship. Maybe the most important three ever hit by a UK player until:

    Aaron Harrison went on his remarkable run in the 2014 NCAA's. Hitting game winning threes in consecutive games to win games. I'm not sure anyone has done anything close to that.

    Tayshaun Prince making five in a row in a game against North Carolina. I think the last was from Richmond. That one nearly blew the top off of Rupp.

    For shear drama the one Sparks made to tie the Michigan State game. Bounced all over the rim before going in. Then the review lasted forever before it was officially called a three pointer.

    I'm sure I'm forgetting more than a few. So fill in the blanks.
    Kentucky fan since 1971.

    Tony Delk's four-point play against Syracuse in the title game was a huge one.

            Edit - I'm changing my answer to the one he hit against Louisville in the Sweet 16.

              Tayshaun still remains my favorite player at UK. Always love seeing players like him - tall and lanky and can play almost anywhere on the floor.

              His streak that day was the more impressive things I've seen. He coulda shot it from the UNC 3 point line and nailed it, I think.

                    Doron Lamb hit a couple in the late stages of the 2012 title game when Kansas was trying to make a comeback---Bill Self later referred to him in a good natured way as a COLD BLOODED KILLER!!!!

                      Did anyone say Aaron's shot against Michigan or the one against Notre Dame?

                      Epps had one in the end of regulation of the 97 title game that sent it to overtime. Huge!

                      Mills had two in a row with ~5 to go in the 98 title game.

                        I'll understand if this is against the rules and has to be removed, but here is an article I contributed to Wildcat Blue Nation yesterday on this very topic. Most of the shots already mentioned are included, but some cool links are there as well.
                        Kentucky Basketball enters Saturday's matchup at Alabama with 999 consecutive games with a three point shot. The Cats look to hit a milestone in Tuscaloosa.
