NCAA BASKETBALL: Flack to compete in College Slam Dunk Championship

CHICAGO – University of South Dakota senior Tyler Flack has been selected to the Slam Dunk Championship roster for the 29th annual State Farm College Slam Dunk & 3-point Championships at Grand Canyone University Arena in Phoenix on Thursday, March 30. Flack is one of the eight men’s college basketball players selected for the event that will air live on ESPN at 9 p.m. CT. He was invited to take part in the Slam Dunk Championship after being recognized as one of the nation’s finest slam dunk performers.

Flack was a first team All-Summit League performer this season. He helped lead the USD Coyotes to their first Summit League Championship.

Flack, from Lakeville, was the team’s lone senior. He averaged 18.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and nearly two blocks per game in conference play. He missed seven games near the beginning of the Summit league slate due to a knee injury, but returned in late January. With Flack back, the Coyotes won seven of their last eight games. Flack is the program’s third-leading shot blocker with 144 blocks.

Flack moved from Marshall to Lakeville after sixth grade. He played high school basketball for Lakeville North. His grandparents Terry and Madonna Cinkle are both avid basketball fans.
