I think Sullivan, Naz, Matty Ice, Willoughby and McGee would be the top five. For the best I would go with McGee. Willoughby was probably the best all around player who was also a great 3 point shooter.
Willoughby had a killer instinct. Game on the line, I want him taking the shot.
Don’t forget Hornacek or Barry Stevens that played w/o the line.
If there were a line then, Barry Stevens would be the man. He was awesome to watch.
I think McGee has the highest percentage, he's probably the guy I would want if there as a large wager on a single shot.

Tyrus's senior season was insane. The dude could hoist it from anywhere and it always felt like it was going in (and it almost did at 46 percent).
I'd agree with an earlier poster. If you NEEDED a clutch 3, in a bit spot, there was no better person than Willoughby to take it.

Not making a case Donovan as the best, but seeing his name will always remind of this great Cyclone moment.
Instinctively I'd go with McGee but Naz had some HUGE shots in one hell of a career, especially Okie State games.
Four guys on the list that played on the same team. Crazy.
Crazy to think 4 of those guys played together for basically 3 years. Incredible run of great shooters
I don't know how I would ever break it down to a level where I'd say "x" is the best.
My first thought was Dedric. The dude was tireless and I can't think of anyone who worked harder running the baseline to get his shot. Plus he was amazing coming off screens and was asked to do more than anyone else on this list on both ends of the floor. If he was healthy, he was out there...all the freaking time.
Naz hit more huge shots than anyone I can think of. Legend.
Tyrus had the ability to just get stupid hot at a time when Hilton was trying to resurrect its past glory. He needs credit for that.
Junior and senior Matt Thomas had a stroke so pure that i was genuinely surprised when he missed. Absolute sniper.
I didn't get to see Stevens and Hornacek as much so I'll definitely listen to those that say they need a place at this table. Hoiberg got better every year in Ames and was cold blooded as a senior. It's between he and Hornacek at the next level.

If we had Mcgee and Dedric for four years. I would toss a coin . Game on the line, I would go Dedric
Not my pick for best, but watching Thug Life drop the long bank at the buzzer to down OSU was one of my favorite moments.

Give me Tyrus McGee. He shot a great %, even though it always seemed like he was going 100 mph coming off a screen with a hand in his face.
