The tournament will feature 16 women’s teams divided by four pools. Florida was sorted into Pool D alongside three other teams: Chaos, 3XBA, and Stephen F. Austin. Team Florida will first face Stephen F. Austin on May 2, at 10:30 PM ET in the first round of play.
Florida is one of three SEC schools that is expected to take the half court with South Carolina and Vanderbilt also joining the trip. Other teams participating include Fairfield University, James Madison University, Oklahoma State University, University of Richmond, South Dakota State University, Stephen F. Austin State University, and TCU. In addition to the collegiate teams, 3×3 pro team 3XBA and independent Team Phoenix will also be competing.
3X Nationals will serve as an evaluation for selection to various future USA Basketball 3×3 men’s and women’s national teams, including the 2025 FIBA 3×3 World Cup, set for June 23-29 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, and roster spots for USA Basketball 3×3 World Tour, 3×3 Women’s Series, 3×3 U23 Nations League and 3×3 U23 World Cup teams.
