3X3U National Championship - A10 Picks?
https://www.cbssports.com/college-baske ... will-work/
Interesting breakdown of how this new Final Four weekend (but unaffiliated) 3x3 Tourney will work. Sounds like crazy over-saturation considering there's already the NCAAs, NIT, CBI, CIT, but what the hell, it will probably be fun. Each conference will field a four man team. Must be graduating seniors, because the tourney is for money. It will be a couple of all-day style marathons before the Final Four, which is kind of awesome.
Obviously the list below won't really work because of course Rhody will be busy competing for a national championship, but on the outside chance that fails to materialize, I'd venture:
Matthews, Tillman, Terrell, Adams
Boring pick, maybe. But still a hell of a team. Thoughts?

I worry that front line is too weak and would get pushed around badly.Rhody15 wrote:Tillman, Terrell, Adams, Aldridge.
I'd go with:
Tillman, Terrell, Adams, BJ Johnson (21/8 on a forgotten LaSalle team)

Terrell won't be playing since URI will be in the final four this year.

The basketball gods owe URI a final 4 appearance.
Would be sweet justice for the 2 years we could have made it [78 and 88] and the year we should have made it [98].

One thing I saw is you can only have one representative from a team, so you can't have Matthews and Terrell or Adams and Mobley.

I think this is a fantastic idea due to the money involved. I am all for anything that gives the players a chance to earn some money.

Another interesting thing about this tournament is that the players will coach themselves. I'd love to hear how they decide which of the four sits.

This idea is so good I kinda can't believe they're doing this.
If there are no Rhody players involved then that may be a wonderful thing...

Tillman, Terrell, Adams.
thats deadly. Tillman is a monster in the paint, Terrell is a monster 1 on 1, Adams can create and is a deadly shooter

That's a pretty deadly team. Considering most of the P5 better players don't stick around til their senior year I would think the A10 has a pretty good shot.

Re: 3X3U National Championship - A10 Picks?
I'm confused, it says they will be 4 man teams and then there are 4 players nominated from each conference. So whats being revealed? Are those the teams already, or does it mean other guys who weren't nominated can still be chosen?

Re: 3X3U National Championship - A10 Picks?
I think because this is a new competition they basically don't have a bead on whether players will want to do this or not (or be able to with school schedules). The list is from the "official committee" but I think they're going to be announcing who actually accepted and will play on the teams.adam914 wrote:I'm confused, it says they will be 4 man teams and then there are 4 players nominated from each conference.

Ok, that makes much more sense. I was assuming they had already done that before nominating people, but if not then I get it.

I said the same thing about Lyles. He had to have turned them down just like Kelan Martin did for butler.

Re: 3X3U National Championship - A10 Picks?
Last player we had in the NABC game was Will Daniels.
That Big East team with Rowsey, Bluiett, Macura, and Rodriguez is sick.
A-10 would need no less than Adams, JT, Tillman and Aldridge to deal with them.

Re: 3X3U National Championship - A10 Picks?
So it looks like we will get Mobley but not Adams from Bona, plus Rene Castro-Caneddy from Duquesne and and Davell Roby from St Louis. Not sure on the final slot yet. It looks as though the tournament committee swung for the fences with their nominations but got turned down when the time came. Still hoping we get a Rhody guy in that last spot.PeterRamTime wrote:Last player we had in the NABC game was Will Daniels.

So Big East team is running with Macura, Bullock, Rodriguez and Rowsey. Still pretty good. Apparently Kelan Martin turned down a bid too that's how Rowsey was selected.

Re: 3X3U National Championship - A10 Picks?
WIll be interesting to see the ACC team. Nominees were Grayson Allen, PInson, Berry, Bonzie Colson. Colson is certainly going to be out and the best players in that league aren't seniors. Could probably go Matt Farrell in Bonzie's spot.
