The 3-point shot wasn't introduced into college basketball until 1986.
It is believed that the first NBA three-point shot was made in 1979. The player credited with making that shot was Chris Ford.

The three-point shot was introduced into NCAA men's basketball during the 1986-1987 season. The rule was implemented to add excitement to the game and encourage more scoring. In women's basketball, the three-point line was adopted a year later, in the 1987-1988 season. The addition of the three-point shot has significantly impacted game strategies and player development in college basketball.
