Trent Frazier might be known as Mr. 300 around Champaign for the remainder of the season.
On Saturday afternoon in East Lansing, the senior guard connected on the 300th 3-point shot of his career as No. 12 Illinois battled No. 19 Michigan State. It’s another feather in the cap to what has been an incredible career.
Frazier, who is averaging 12.4 points per game this year for the Fighting Illini, is shooting better than 34% from behind the 3-point line this season.

Frazier has been a key cog on an Illinois team that is firmly in the race for a B1G regular season title and could make a Final Four run. Not only is a threat to score on the offensive end, he’s one of the top defensive players in the conference.
With four games remaining in the regular season after Saturday’s contest against Michigan State, Frazier has some time to add a few more 3-pointers to his Illinois total.
