Senior guard Johnnie Bryant just broke a record that Nick Jacobsen held for three-pointers in a game, which led me to wonder whether Bryant has a chance at breaking some of the other shooting records that Jacobsen holds for the Utes.

Answer?

Probably not.

While Bryant is enjoying the best shooting season of his career, he's not likely to hit as many three-pointers as Jacobsen did in his record-setting 2003-04 season -- or even as many as Bryant hit last season. Jacobsen holds the school records with 99 three-pointers made in '03-04, and 227 attempted, with Bryant second on both lists with 88 of 208 last year.

At his current rate (and presuming the Utes play two games in the Mountain West Conference tournament), Bryant will hit only about 83 three-pointers this season, and attempt about 175 for a career-best 47.1 shooting percentage.

Of course, while Bryant has been averaging 2.67 three-pointers per game overall, he has been hitting 3.8 per game in conference play. If he keeps up or improves that pace, he has a chance to challenge Jacobsen. At that rate, Bryant would hit 97 of 203 three-pointers -- again, presuming the Utes play two games of the league tournament.

Bryant won't be reaching Jacobsen's career marks, though, no matter what. Bryant would need to average nearly 6 1/2 three-pointers per game the rest of the season to equal the 287 threes that Jacobsen made from 2000 to 2004. And he would have to attempt more than 16 per game to reach the career mark of 673 three-pointers attempted.
