Early life
He attended Indian Creek Elementary in Indianapolis. Hill played high school basketball at Lawrence North High School in Indianapolis, Indiana where he was a 2001 All-State selection and an honorable mention Associated Press All-State honoree in 2000. He also set school records for both career and single-season passing yardage and touchdowns as the school's quarterback.
College career
He was a two-time (2002–03 & 2003–04) Big Ten Conference leader in three point shots made, joining Shawn Respert, Louis Bullock, Craig Moore, and Jon Diebler. He was co-MVP of the 2002–03 Michigan State Spartans men's basketball team. As of 2010, he was one of three three-time Academic All-Americas in Big Ten Conference history. At the time of his 2005 recognition, he was the only two-time Academic All-America honoree in Michigan State basketball history. In 2005, he was named the Men's Basketball Academic All-American of the Year.
On January 27, 2003, he was named the Big Ten Conference Player of the Week. During the previous week, he had had two 20-point performances. A month later on February 23, he set the past Big Ten Conference record for single-game three point shots made (10). The record remained unmatched until Jon Diebler tied it on March 1, 2011. Byrn Forbes finally surpassed the mark on 3/2/2016.
