Skip did not have the 3 point shot until his JR year and he shot over 40% from 3 for the 2 years he had it - so I would have expected his point totals to have got a significant bump if he would have had the 3 pointer all 4 years.
Luke i think Skip had the three point line for conference games his whole career but not for OC games. Have kind of a fuzzy memory but something about a four point lead against UTC in Asheville,NC during tourney and a four point play(three pointer good and foul) at end of game during Huck's first or second year as coach of Herd.

Not so sure about that. Southern Conference started using 3 point line in 1980. First Conference to do that.
From Wikipedia's history of the three point field goal.
"The NCAA's Southern Conference became the first collegiate conference to use the three-point rule, adopting a 22-foot (6.71 m) line for the 1980–81 season.[17][18] Ronnie Carr of Western Carolina was the first to score a three-point field goal in college basketball history on November 29, 1980.[18][19][20] Over the following five years, NCAA conferences differed in their use of the rule and distance required for a three-pointer. The line was as close as 17 ft 9 in (5.41 m) in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), and as far away as 22 ft (6.71 m) in the Big Sky.[21][22][23][24]
Used only in conference play for several years, it was adopted by the NCAA in April 1986 for the 1986–87 season at 19 ft 9 in (6.02 m)[25][26][27][28] and was first used in the NCAA Tournament in March 1987.[29] The NCAA adopted the three-pointer in women's basketball on an experimental basis for that season at the same distance, and made its use mandatory beginning in 1987–88.[30] In 2007, the NCAA lengthened the men's distance by a foot to 20 ft 9 in (6.32 m), effective with the 2008–09 season"'
