The 21st Annual College Slam Dunk and Three Point Championships Print
Thursday, April 02 2009, 7:30pm - 10:00pm

Twenty-four of the biggest names in college hoops will take to the court for an electrifying event that airs on ESPN.

The night starts with college basketball’s sharp shooters in the men’s three point shooting competition. This event has a storied history of future NBA stars like Allen Houston, Gary Payton and two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Steve Nash.
The hot shooting continues in the State Farm women’s three point shooting championship.

Future WNBA draft picks will torch the nylon. Cappie Pondexter and Nikki Teasley are just two of the former competitors that went on to become All-Stars in the WNBA.

The event continues with the three point Battle of the Champions, that poses the winners of the men’s and women’s competitions against each other. The women have bested the men in 6 of the last seven competitions. 

The night ends in spectacular, high flying fashion with the Vegas.com Slam Dunk Championship.  The highest leapers and most graceful flyers take to the hardwood in the signature event of the night. Last year, Georgetown’s Patrick Ewing Jr. awed the crowd with his behind the back dunk, and Arkansas’ Sonny Weems took home the championship belt with his devastating dunks.

The event begins at 7:30pm EST (doors open at 6:00pm). Tickets available in advance for as
low as $10 and are available through Palace Sports ticket office or through palacenet.com
