2019 3X3 National Championship

ESPN has brought back its 3v3 tournament that it had last year. As a reminder, each Division I conference gets to send a team of seniors to play for money during the tournament. There is 150k on the line overall.

Last years team consisted of Donte Thomas, Brenton Scott, Tevonn Walker, and Bennett Koch.

This year we only have one player confirmed so far for the MVC, Jarred Dixon from Missouri State.

Who else do you want to see?

I would be surprised if Custer/Townes don't join him. I think Fayne should get a shot as well. McGlynn is interesting but I don't think his game would translate all that well to 3v3. I'd bet one of the seniors from SIU joins the squad. Pippen, Lloyd or Fletcher would be my guess.

My ideal team would be Fayne, Townes, and maybe Ellingson? Shooters are a must-have in 3v3. This team would need some more size.

I think I saw something from Townes on Instagram indicating that he is playing.

Yep! Twitter confirms Townes is in. Two spots left.

Armon Fletcher will be on the team. Not speculation, I know it for sure.

Nice! I was hoping for Fletcher and Pippen or Fayne.

I hoping for Fayne. But thinking more about it, his game may not translate too well to the 3x3 format. There isn't a whole lot of backing down into the post. Selfishly, I just want to see Phil play again. He was fun and it was a lightning quick 3 years!

The first two years were lightning quick....this year on the other hand, did not go near as quick (no blame to Phil though)

I got my wish! Phil Fayne rounds out the MVC team. Hopefully this squad can put some wins together. If I remember correctly, last year's team might have only won one game.
