Hall of Fame
A native of Pella, Iowa, Kyle Korver became the seventh player in league history to earn back-to-back Larry Bird MVC Player of the Year awards (2002 and 2003).
A three-time All-Missouri Valley Conference choice, he led the Bluejays to a 10-1 record in the State Farm MVC Tournament, winning the 2000, 2002 and 2003 events. In fact, he is the only two-time Most Outstanding Player in tourney history.
An All-America selection in 2002 and 2003, Korver owns the Creighton and MVC records with 371 career three-pointers, which is tied for 16th in NCAA history.
As a senior in 2003, he was a unanimous choice as collegeinsider.com as Mid-Major National Player of the Year and tabbed a second-team All-American by Associated Press, ESPN.com and the U.S. Basketball Writers Association. He was also recognized as a third-team All-America choice by Dick Vitale and the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
He finished his CU career fifth all-time in scoring (1,801 points) and first in three-pointers made, treys attempted (819), three-point accuracy (45.3 percent) and free throw percentage (89.1).
Korver is the only player in Creighton history to appear in four-straight NCAA Tournaments and is one of two CU players to beat rival Nebraska four times. He led Creighton to 99 wins in four seasons -- easily the best total in school history.
He was invited to participate in the 2003 Three-Point Shootout, where he finished second in the men’s division. Originally drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in 2003, Korver has played nearly two decades in the NBA.
