Barry Stevens and Johnny Orr predated the 3 point line at ISU so yes.

1982 or 1983 is the first time I think I remember the 3 point line. The one I remember was the ACC at 17'9" with Terry Gannon firing away all the time.
Yes, Don Smith (Abdul-Aziz) was late 60's. It was illegal to dunk during that period.
Jeff hornacek only got two years with a three point line if I remember right. Not only that but very few plays were designed for a three point shot at that point
the 3 point line was instituted the year after he graduated. Elmer was the only guy on that 86-87 team that was a threat. Thompkins worked his ass off and made himself a 3pt threat the next year
Man! I wonder how many more games we would have won with a 3 pt line when Hornacek, Barry Stevens, and Ron Virgil played. They made a ton of shots way beyond the arch
Gary Thompson needs to be in there
Known as the "Roland Rocket", Gary Thompson came to Iowa State University from the small town of Roland, Iowa to become one of the Cyclones' first cage stars. A 5'10 guard, Thompson was the first Iowa State player to score more than 1,000 points and the first player in school history to tally 40 points in a game. As a senior in 1956–57, Thompson earned consensus second team All-American honors, first team All-America status from the Associated Press, and was named Big Seven Conference player of the year, beating out Kansas star Wilt Chamberlain. Thompson excelled in a second sport as well, leading Iowa State to the 1957 College World Series as a star shortstop.[1]
I have to imagine this season has been pretty hard for Gary to witness.
Yeah, if you look back at his game winning shot against Miami (Ohio), that would have been a three if there had been a line
I have not followed this kid at all, and have no idea if he'd be a take,, but love the question at the end if this interview.
Q: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
A: Hopefully playing at Iowa State.

Q: "Do you have a dream school?"
MF: I guess I would say Iowa State, but I think second would be Kentucky or Duke. As long as I’m playing that’s good, if I get to that next level that’s fine by me.
Probably about the same if 3 point shots counted for the opponents.
No, no, no. When Stevens played the Big 8 had huge posts that wore out Hill and Moss. Ever heard of Hoppen and Stipanovich?
I remember they had hornacek come out to Johnny Orr’s basketball camp and he was messing around shooting half court shots on the courts at lied. He was draining them, rarely missed.
