10. Brandon Mouton (2000-2004)

189-509 (38.9%), 1.5 FG3/G

Guard Brandon Mouton broke onto the scene for the Longhorns as a sophomore during the 2001-02 campaign. Mouton's biggest contributions to the Longhorns in his final three seasons at Texas was his scoring and floor spacing.

Between the 2001-02 and 2003-04 seasons, Mouton shot nearly 40 percent from beyond the arc while draining 1.8 three-point field goal attempts per game. He led Texas in three-point field goals per game in two of his three seasons as a starting guard (2001-2004).

In the 2003 NCAA Tournament, Mouton was on fire shooting from beyond the arc, hitting a combined 10 three-pointers in the Sweet 16 against UConn and Elite Eight against the eventual national champion Syracuse.

9. Travis Mays (1986-1990)

246-664 (37.0%), 2.0 FG3/G

After the three-point line was introduced in 1986-87 to college basketball, the Longhorns were able to find new ways to generate offense and start dominating the Southwest Conference on the offensive end.

Two-time SWC Player of the Year Travis Mays was one of the great scorers in college basketball in the late 1980s and in 1990. Mays led the SWC in scoring during his final two seasons in college for the Longhorns.

In the final two seasons of his collegiate career, Mays took advantage of the three-point scoring on offense. He averaged a trio of three-point field goals per game from 1988-1990, culminating in a SWC-best 95 three-point makes in his final two seasons.
