WICHITA, Kan. -- Wichita State senior
Conner Frankamp will look to add to his trophy case on Final Four weekend when he competes in the 30th annual State Farm College Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships.
Â
Frankamp is one of eight men's basketball seniors selected to take part in the three-point contest on Thursday, March 29 at St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas. The event will air live on ESPN2 at 8 p.m. CT.
Â
As a high school senior at Wichita North, Frankamp won the 2013 US Marines 3-Point Championship on Final Four weekend, beating out future UCLA Bruin Bryce Alford in the final when he sank 22-of-25 attempts. At WSU, Frankamp was three-time champion of the Shocker Madness three-point contest.
Â
The 6-foot-1 Frankamp set a school record earlier this year, connecting on at least one three-pointer in 40 consecutive games. Despite playing just two-and-a-half seasons as a Shocker, he ends his career ranked sixth on the school's all-time three-point field goal chart (164).
Â
Frankamp was also the nation's most accurate free throw shooter in his senior season, going a perfect 34-for-34. His .884 free throw percentage ranks second on WSU's career list.
Â
Over the last 29 years, several of the top players in college basketball have competed in the College Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships including: Gary Payton, Steve Nash, Jason Terry, Kyle Korver, Bobby Hurley, Michael Finley, Damon Stoudamire, Allan Houston, Denzel Valentine, Yogi Ferrell, Wes Matthews, Cappie Pondexter, Katie Gearlds, and Kristi Toliver.
