The 2025-26 men’s college basketball season was a landmark year for Milan Momcilovic, a forward for the Iowa State Cyclones, as he set a new program record by making 136 three-pointers. His remarkable shooting percentage of 48.7% not only led the Cyclones but also placed him at the top of the national rankings for both attempts and efficiency. This achievement made him the first player to lead the country in these categories simultaneously since the introduction of the three-point line. Following this historic season, Momcilovic tested the waters for the 2026 NBA Draft but opted to withdraw due to less-than-encouraging feedback. Consequently, he entered the transfer portal and has now committed to the Kentucky Wildcats, where he aims to further showcase his shooting prowess. With Kentucky’s record for three-pointers in a season standing at 117, he has the potential to break this mark in the upcoming season under coach Mark Pope's offense, which emphasizes three-point shooting.
