Arianna Robinson: Breaking Records from Beyond the Arc
Arianna Robinson is rewriting the record books when it comes to three-point shooting. The 5'9" shooting guard from Lincoln, Nebraska, set the Big Ten single-season record for three-pointers made (126) during the 2023–2024 campaign while playing for the University of Iowa. Her quick release and unlimited range make her one of the most feared perimeter scorers in the country.
Robinson averaged 18.7 points per game last season, with an astonishing 44% shooting from deep on over eight attempts per game. She scored 30 or more points in five different contests, including a career-high 38 points against Maryland where she drilled 9 of 14 from three. Her off-ball movement and ability to sprint off screens have drawn comparisons to WNBA stars like Katie Lou Samuelson.
Key Stats and Accolades
- All-Big Ten First Team (2024)
- Led the nation in three-pointers made per game (3.7)
- Set Iowa program record for career three-point percentage (42.8%)
Scouts project Arianna Robinson as a late first-round or early second-round WNBA draft pick. Her shooting alone will earn her a roster spot, but her improved ball-handling and willingness to pass show she is more than just a sharpshooter. If she can continue to develop her defensive footwork, she could become a dangerous combo guard at the professional level.
