Chris Kingsbury

Chris Kingsbury played guard for the Iowa Hawkeyes from 1993 to 1996. Kingsbury was a McDonald's All-American his senior year with Hamilton High School in Hamilton, Ohio before beginning his career as a Hawkeye. Kingsbury became an instant fan favorite at Iowa displaying a seemingly limitless range as a three-point shooter. During his sophomore season of 1994-95, Kingsbury set school records for three-pointers in a game (9, twice) and in a season (117), both records that still stand to this day. He also led the Hawkeyes in scoring that season averaging 16.8 points per game. Kingsbury averaged 11.9 points per game the next season as a junior and helped Iowa to a 4th place finish in the Big Ten with an 11-7 conference record. Few Hawkeye fans will forget Kingsbury's 30-point effort in a 101-95 win over Connecticut in the 1995 Great Alaskan Shoot-out. A game that was recently replayed as part of the Big Ten Network's "The Big Ten's Greatest Games". The Hawkeyes earned a trip to the NCAA Tournament at season's end and eventually lost in the 2nd round to Arizona, 87-73.

Chris Kingsbury did not return to Iowa for his senior season but instead pursued a career in professional basketball. Kingsbury was not picked in the 1996 NBA Draft and over his career played professionally in the CBA, the IBL, and Italy.

These days Chris Kingsbury works as Vice President of Investments and Operations at the Bank of Dixon County in Ponca, Nebraska. Kingsbury is now 33 years old and has worked at Bank of Dixon County for 7 years.
