Duke true freshman Jared McCain set a program March Madness record on Sunday by knocking down eight threes, helping them to a Sweet 16 appearance.
The only thing that stopped Jared McCain from not breaking NCAA records on Sunday was the fact that he was in the middle of a blowout.
The true freshman from Duke knocked down eight three-pointers, a school record for March Madness, but with 9:29 to go, the Blue Devils were winning by 28. They wound up beating James Madison by 38.
Only five players have drilled 10 three-pointers in tournament history (Oakland’s Jack Gohlke became the fifth on Thursday). The record is 11.
McCain knocked each of his first six and finished 8-for-11, tying a season-high.
