The Final Four has long doubled as the NCAA's equivalent to NBA All-Star Weekend. Sometimes the performances in the college three point shoot-out and dunk contest are even more impressive than what a casual fan will see at "All-Star Saturday Night". There probably wont be anyone dunking over a Kia in Houston on Thursday night, but expect a lot of creativity from the dunk contestants and some impressive shooting from the three-point marksmen. This event is one of the hidden gems of the events leading up to the Final Four. The event will not be shown live, but will be aired at 9pm on ESPN2. Here is a list of this year's participants.
