Again this year, there will be a 3 on 3 Tournament for Seniors during the Final Four Weekend, with each conference sending a 4 player team. The winning team will get $100,000. The first player confirmed for the Ivy League team is Matt Morgan of Cornell.

Too bad Cambridge is no longer eligible.

I dunno. There's only one ball.

Still, a 3-on-3 team with Morgan and Cambridge would be a lot of fun to watch.

Myles Stephens of Princeton is also on the Ivy 3x3 team with Matt Morgan.

They need a big with some skills. How about Yale's Blake Reynolds?

They need 4 and with these two need a good 3pt shooter. I like Woods and Reynolds as additions. Also may Adlesh, Copeland, or Okolie would be strong considerations.

Copeland would be my choice--he would break a few ankles with one on one moves. And Woods would be good to put on the other team's best scorer.

As I recall, nobody plays much defense in this event.

And I'm thinking that even in a 3-on-3 context, it would be nice to have a guy who could set the occasional bruising screen for the shooters. Reynolds could give you that plus three point range and craftiness in the post.

Reynolds would be a great three on three player. You want at least one rebounder/screen setter who's ideally still a threat shooting the ball himself.

He was very underrated in general this year. Shot 61% on twos, and it's not like most of those were putbacks/dunks. He got very good at that little hook shot of his. They would actually go to him pretty often out of timeouts when they wanted to really get a high percentage look.

I think Reynolds is a no brained for this format. Can guard multiple positions, hits open 3s and can back guys down.

This is a game where you want quickness and three point shooting, and enough balance to be able to play bigger and smaller. Stephens and Okolie give you good guard length with enough three point shooting. Reynolds doesn’t give you quickness but he’s hard to move and he really shoots it.

Surprised not to see one of either Woods or Copeland to be the heady point that can defend smaller quick guards and can penetrate.

The IL fortunes will likely rest onbhow well Okolie and Stephens can shoot the 3

Okolie and Stephens are lock-down defenders, too. That helps their chances.

How do four players get together to practice for this during the school year?
