Tyler Lundblade Named to E*TRADE Men's 3-Point Championship Watch List

INDIANAPOLIS - - Belmont University men's basketball guard Tyler Lundblade has been selected to the E*TRADE Men's 3-Point contest watch list as part of 37th annual State Farm College Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Friday, April 3. The event will be broadcast nationally on ESPN on Sunday, April 5.
 
Lundblade, the reigning NCAA 3-point champion, has established himself as one of the premier 3-point shooters in college basketball. The only player in America to walk-on and earn a scholarship at three different schools (SMU, TCU, Belmont), Lundblade stands with the likes of Honor Huff (West Virginia) and Lamer Wilkerson (Indiana) for the most 3-point field goals made over the last two seasons. Profiled by national media members such as Seth Davis, Andy Katz, Chris Dortch, Kevin Connors, and Annabelle Hasselbeck, Lundblade has made multiple 3-pointers in 48 of his 57 career games at Belmont – including a remarkable four-game stretch of 30-for-46 from long distance. The Dallas, Texas native was named to the Lou Henson Award Watch List and was named Coconut Hoops Tournament Most Valuable Player earlier this season. Last season, Lundblade's 104 3-point field goals established a new Belmont single-season record, ranking ninth all-time in Missouri Valley Conference history. He also ranks among active leaders in career free throw percentage (.937). The 6-5 guard is an Academic All-America candidate.
 
Program legends Ian Clark and Darby Maggard represented Belmont at past national 3-Point Championships.
