Andrew Carr says Travis Perry hit 59 straight corner 3s in practice

Travis Perry didn’t set the state of Kentucky’s all-time high school record by accident. There was a tremendous amount of grinding that went into scoring 5,481 points throughout his prep career. Luckily for the Big Blue Nation, that work ethic appears to be translating quite nicely to the college level.

During a media session on Thursday with a few of the 2024-25 Wildcats, Wake Forest transfer forward Andrew Carr was asked who the one guy you can’t leave open on the perimeter is. On a roster that is littered with excellent outside shooters, it was the freshman Perry who immediately stuck out in Carr’s mind.

“Travis Perry has done a really great job,” Carr told reporters. “Sometimes you walk in (the gym) and he’s at 500, 600 shots up in the day, something like that. And he’s still at 85 percent. And I’m like, how is that possible? I look over and it’s all threes, he’s at 85 percent. It’s pretty crazy… He made 59 in a row from the corner the other day. It’s incredible.”

Just a casual 59 corner three-pointers in a row — no biggie. But also not surprising for a player who shot 41.7 percent from deep as a senior for Lyon County this past season en route to winning 2024 Mr. Kentucky Basketball and a state championship. It reminds me of that viral clip from 2020 when Steph Curry hit 105 straight triples from the corner.

Granted, 59 isn’t quite 105, but it’s still damn impressive, even for a practice session. Perry’s 85 percent figure on all three-point shots that Carr mentioned is equally as incredible, too.

Now let’s crack 60 in a row next time, Travis.
