 * Symbol question.svg Nominated in time after GA. Size, neutrality, verifiability with citations are up to par, and no close paraphrasing concerns. QPQ complete. Hook is verifiable, thought it's waning a bit on interest for me.  Removing "third-team" would make it sound a bit more interesting, but I might suggest making the hook on setting the Miami record for 3's in a game.  Records always sound more interesting, and All-ACC is not very intuitive to non-college basketball fans.  If you'd rather go with the hook as is, I can propose the ALTs and have someone else finish the review. —Bagumba (talk) 05:45, 12 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the review. I have supplied an alt1 hook along your suggestion. Oceanh (talk) 12:05, 12 December 2015 (UTC)


 * ALT1: ... that basketball player Malcolm Grant tied the Miami Hurricanes single-game record for three-pointers in 2011?
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I was bold and tweaked ALT1, as the record is for number of 3's made, not that he was perfect. Removing the actual number made also, as it gives a reason to read the article (and it's not an incredibly high number either). Minor copyediting, let me know if there are any issues.  Otherwise, ALT1 is good to go.—Bagumba (talk) 19:44, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
