Although it does not get the same level of hype or attention as the NBA's three point shootout during All Star weekend, the NCAA contest brought just as much excitement to basketball fans on Thursday night.
SLIDESHOW: Most Hated Athletes in College Basketball
Set inside Indianapolis; Hinkle Fieldhouse, home of the Butler Bulldogs and just a short distance away from the Final Four's host site of Lucas Oil Stadium, the competition saw Portland's Cassandra Brown top Gonzaga's Kevin Pangos, in a big win for the girls.
Both made mince meat of their respective competition, but when they went head-to-head in the final round to determine an ultimate champ, Brown drained nine three-pointers in a row to cement herself as the 2015 titlist.

Pangos is no slouch, either. He's a four-year starter for the Zags, and a career 1,824 point scorer, which is good for fifth all time in the university's history. He's also a career 40%+ shooter from deep. Brown was also a four-year star for Portland, and she lead the team in scoring the past two seasons. This year she chipped in a line of 17.8 points and 6.4 rebounds, to earn herself a spot on the WCC's second team all-conference.
