Friday-Sunday this weekend, a really neat three-on-three tournament event will be taking place in San Antonio. The event will consist of 32 teams of four players each (three players and one substitute) with each team representing one of the 32 D1 conferences. The game will be played in a half-court only, with each regular basket worth one point and each basket from beyond the arc worth 2. The first team to 21 point, or the leader after 10 minutes, wins.
The event will begin with pool play consisting of 8 pools of 4 teams each (guaranteeing at least 3 games per team). The 8 winners will advance to a bracketed quarterfinal round, followed by semifinals and a Best-of-3 championship round. All games are being streamed on Twitter (Friday starting at 7 PM Eastern, Saturday at 11AM Eastern, Sunday at 2PM Eastern)), with the semifinals and finals on Sunday also being on ESPN2. Given that the teams are all seniors who have exhausted their eligibility, they can and will win money — $1,000 to be split by the team for each team win through the semifinals and $50,000 for the champions.
