The Arizona State Sun Devils will have a presence at the Final Four, as it was announced on Wednesday that Torian Graham has been chosen to participate in the 29th annual State Farm Slam Dunk and 3-point Championship.
Graham will take part in the 3-point shootout, with both competitions taking place on Thursday, March 30, at Grand Canyon University Arena.
Graham is coming off a season in which he made 108 three-point shots, which is the seventh-most for a single season in Pac-12 history. The senior attempted 8.5 threes per game, connecting at a 39-percent clip.
The 3-point competition is paired with a dunk contest, and it all begins at 7 p.m. and will be aired on ESPN. Past winners of the shooting competition include current ASU coach Bobby Hurley as well as Gary Payton, Steve Nash, Jason Terry and Damon Stoudamire.
