Notebook: Troy Williams the first player to ever win Hoosier Hysteria dunk and 3-point contests

As Troy Williams stood next to Yogi Ferrell and Nick Zeisloft on Saturday night as they argued over who is the team’s best shooter after a three-way tie in the men’s 3-point shootout, the Hoosiers junior had one comment.

“I’m just here so I don’t get fined,” he said with a laugh.

But after women’s basketball player and women’s 3-point shootout winner Tyra Buss chose Williams to face in the overall final — she mentioned Williams isn’t known for his shooting — the 6-foot-7 forward showcase an improved perimeter stroke.

Williams beat Buss, 18-14, in the final to win the Hoosier Hysteria 3-point shootout.
