Brigham Young University (BYU) may have suffered its first loss of the season going down 99-91 at Oklahoma in overtime on Saturday (NZT) but the game will long be remembered for the shooting performance by Kiwi Tegan Graham.
Graham is in her second season with the Cougars having previously made 98 appearances for Colgate University. A renowned perimeter shooter she sits 6th on Colgate’s All-time 3-Point field goal percentage (34%).
However nothing she has done before compares with her performance against Oklahoma as she made TEN shots from behind the arc from 17 attempts (59%) for a career high 30 points.
Those 30 points also took Graham past 100 points for the season and 1,000 career points – the 17th New Zealander to score over one thousand NCAA Division I points.
Even elite shooter Kirk Penney didn’t make that many triples in a single game during his illustrious college career with the Wisconsin Badgers.
Not surprisingly the former Wellington Girl’s College and New Zealand age-group representative has set an all-time record for the number of threes made in a single game in BYU Women’s basketball programme history. It’s also the highest number of threes made in NCAA Division I basketball by a Kiwi – a record that is likely to stand for a very long time.
BYU now get a week off before entertaining Washington State University and the Ledger-Walker sisters Krystal and Charlisse in an intriguing match-up.
I for one can’t wait!
LACEY LOWDOWN 
Stunning performance, one in a lifetime really. The match up against the Walker sisters is going to be mouth watering.
Yes, looking forward to that. There is a sub plot that the last time Krystal and Tegan played each other was the Secondary Schools National Final when St Peter’s Cambridge beat Wellington Girls College.
