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 19ft 9in 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 20ft 9in, while the women's line would remain the same until being moved to match the men's arc starting with the 2011–12 season. In June 2019, the NCAA officially announced that the men's three-point line would be extended to match the FIBA standard of 6.75 m in a two-phase implementation, with Division I adopting the new distance in 2019–20 and Divisions II and III doing the same in 2020–21.

Through December 18, 2019, only 19 players have made at least 12 three-point field goals in a single game. Gary Bossert was the first and has the highest three-point field goal percentage among the 19. The all-time record is 15, which had only occurred one time between 1986–87 and 2017–18, by Marshall's Keith Veney. On December 14, 1996, he set the record against Morehead State. Then, within a two-night span in November 2018, two other players tied Veney's record. On November 14, Robert Morris' Josh Williams made 15, and then on November 15 Furman's Jordan Lyons matched it. Veney remains the only player to have made 15 threes against Division I opposition; Robert Morris' opponent of Mount Aloysius was in NCAA Division III, and Furman's opponent of North Greenville was Division II (both schools remain at those respective levels today). Only three other players have made 14 three-pointers: Ronald Blackshear, Dave Jamerson and Askia Jones. Blackshear and Jones did so against Division I opponents, while Jamerson's performance was against a Division II opponent. Jones' performance is an NCAA postseason record.
