PHILADELPHIA - Senior Quincy Wadley, who starred on Temple's NCAA
Regional Finalist basketball team, has been invited to participate in
the Annual 3-Point Shooting Championships in Minneapolis on Thursday.
The event will be held at Concordia University-St. Paul's Gangelhoff
Center, and showcased on a two-hour ESPN telecast from the NCAA Final
Four city on Saturday, March 31 (1:30-3:30 p.m. ET).
Wadley concluded his four-year Temple career by helping to lead the
Owls to the Atlantic 10 Conference Championship and a run to the South
Regional Final of the NCAA Tournament. For the season, the 6-4,
200-pound senior from Harrisburg, PA averaged 15.1 points, 4.6 rebounds
and 2.3 assists, as the Owls posted a 24-13 win-loss mark. He was named
to the Atlantic 10 Conference All-Tournament team for a second straight
year, in addition to earning a selection to the all-conference third
team. Currently pursuing a second bachelor's degree in Sports and
Recreation Management, Wadley graduated from Temple with a degree in
African American Studies in the summer of 2000.
The Annual Slam Dunk and 3-Point Championships are an Intersport
production that will feature Brad Nessler and Dick Vitale. The event
begins with the men's three-point contest, followed by a women's
three-point shootout. Next is the men's slam-dunk contest, followed by a
Battle of the Sexes: a three-point shoot-out from the men's and women's
champions determined earlier in the evening.
Contesting Wadley in the men's three-point shooting contest will be Joe
Crispin of Penn State; Shaun Fein of Georgia Tech; Keith Friel of
Virginia; Tony Harris of Tennessee; Martin Ingelsby of Notre Dame; Ryan
Mendez of Stanford; and Dean Oliver of Iowa.
