Ferguson set to play in 3X3U National Championship

INDIANAPOLIS – Lipscomb Romeao Ferguson has accepted an invitation to play in the 2021 Dos Equis 3X3U National Championship.
 
The third-annual 3-on-3 event, which will be closed to the public, begins Friday, April 2 and runs through Sunday at The Pavilion in downtown Indianapolis.
The field is a combination of seniors from the Class of 2021 and standouts from the Class of 2020 looking to reemerge on the national scene after having their postseasons cut short last year.
 
Ferguson will be joined by Liberty's Elijah Cuffee and Chris Parker and Texas State's Nijal Pearson on the ASUN/Sun Belt Team.
 
Ferguson is coming off an ASUN Newcomer of the Year campaign that saw him post 13.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

In total, the 64 players, who are recent college players pursuing professional opportunities, represent each Division I conference. The 16, four-man teams boast an impressive collection of talent that will make for three exciting days of basketball as teams compete for their share of the $150,000 prize pool. The field is comprised of seven players that have been named Conference Player of the Year, 38 players who are All-Conference honorees, 22 who are NABC All-District winners and three that have won Conference Defensive Player of the Year laurels.

Teams will play each squad in their respective pool on Friday and Saturday before all 16 will head to the knockout stage on Sunday, with the top two teams from each pool receiving byes to the quarterfinals. The winning team from each pool play game will win $1,000, victories in the first two knockout rounds will net another $1,000, a quarterfinal win is worth $5,000, a semifinal triumph is another $10,000, while the team that takes home the Tournament title will add $50,000 to their winnings.
