If there is anyone seeking advice from Creighton University senior Booker Woodfox on how to become a great shooter, he has just two words of advice.

“Not missing,” said the sharp-shooter from Lewisville, Texas.

While those two words might not help anyone else much, they certainly help Woodfox, who competed in Thursday night’s 21st Annual College Slam Dunk and Three Point Championships.

The contest was a part of this weekend’s Final Four festivities, which was held in the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit. The event was broadcast on ESPN.

Harriman is extremely confident in his teammate’s ability to advance to the final round.

“I guarantee that Booker makes it to the finals,” Harriman said. “He is the top three point shooter in the nation and he is very clutch.”

Woodfox, who is Creighton’s career leader in three point shooting percentage, took on a field comprised of some of the most skilled shooters in the nation, including Notre Dame’s Kyle McAlarney and West Virginia’s Alex Ruoff. Woodfox is aware his competition is full of skilled shooters.

“I’ve seen McAlarney, McClinton and [Alex] Ruoff on TV before, and they don’t miss either,” Woodfox said.

While some of these names may be more familiar across the nation, Woodfox definitely is in a position to contend, as he ranks fifth in the nation in three point percentage.

Woodfox has some experience in three-point shootouts. He has entered three and won two. However, his one loss remains a bit of a sore subject, seeing as the only person to top Woodfox in a shootout was his father, the elder Booker Woodfox.

Woodfox is not taking this competition lightly. He has been working on pulling the ball from a rack, firing and repeating, as is done five times from five different locations in the actual competition. In addition, Woodfox has received some pointers from former Bluejay Nick Bahe, who was also a talented three-point shooter.

Harriman, when asked to explain Woodfox as a shooter offered spot on commentary.

“Clutch, awkward and unstoppable,” Harriman said.

Bluejay fans certainly hope Woodfox is clutch and unstoppable. There was no question that Woodfox’s unorthodox jump shot would be present on Thursday night in Detroit.
