The First Three-Pointer in UNC Men's Basketball History

Posted Aug 25, 2021
The first UNC three-pointer fell through the basket in 1982-83. That season, the ACC, along with a few other conferences, decided to try out the deeper and more valuable shot attempt. UNC’s first opportunity for a three-point basket came on January 5, 1983. Every indication is that Jim Braddock was the first ever Tar Heel to make a three-point basket. (All Tar Heels)
