NEW ORLEANS -- The University of Iowa guard Jordan Bohannon has been selected to the Men's 3-Point Championship roster for the 33rd annual College Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships at Xavier University of Louisiana's Convocation Center in New Orleans on Thursday.

Bohannon is one of eight players selected for the event that will air live on ESPN at 8 p.m.

Bohannon helped lead the Hawkeyes to a Big Ten Tournament championship and 26 wins -- the second highest single-season total in school history -- as a sixth-year senior.

The Marion native played in all 36 games ranking second on the team in points per game (11.0) and assists (1.8), and first in 3-pointers per game (2.5). He earned postseason conference recognition five times in his career, earning third-team accolades as a junior, honorable mention honors three times, and was voted to the All-Freshman Team in 2017.

Bohannon is Iowa's career leader in four statistical categories: assists (704), 3-pointers made (455), games played (179), and free-throw percentage (.887, 370-417).

Bohannon sank a school and Xfinity Center record 10 3-pointers at Maryland on Feb. 10 -- one shy of tying the Big Ten record. His 455 triples are the most in Big Ten history and second most by a player from a major conference (457 by Duke's J.J. Reddick) in NCAA history.

He ranks third in career scoring at Iowa (2,033) and sixth in field goals made (604).
