Caden Pierce And Dalen Davis Named To USA Basketball 3×3 Nations League Team – Princeton University Athletics

USA Basketball announced today the men’s and women’s 2024 USA 3×3 Nations Leagues teams set to compete at the 2024 FIBA 3×3 Nations League Americas Conference July 22-28 in Mexico City and a pair of Princeton men’s basketball standouts will represent the Red, White and Blue for the first time in Caden Pierce and Dalen Davis.

In addition to the two Tigers, the 2024 USA 3×3 Men’s Nations League roster includes Finley Bizjack (Butler University), Bryce Butler (Charleston College), Jacob Harvey (Trinity University) and Boden Kapke (Butler University).

Per FIBA, the seventh edition of the 3×3 Nations League will feature 13 conferences including U23 and U21 teams. The 2024 FIBA 3×3 Nations League includes seven conferences from Europe, including three U21, two from Africa and Asia, and one each from Americas and U21 Asia-Pacific.

 

The Americas Conference will feature six three-game tournaments in seven days. The six team members can substitute as needed for each day’s four-person entry.

 

For the first time, the FIBA 3×3 Nations League will be a qualification route to the FIBA 3×3 U23 World Cup 2024. Conference winners will qualify for the event, set for Sept. 11-15 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. 

The 2024 FIBA 3×3 U23 Nations League will stream live on YouTube.

 

Different than five-on-five, 3×3 is played on a half-court with a 10-minute game clock and 12-second shot clock. Play is continuous, as teams “clear” the ball behind the 2-point line following a made basketball, defensive rebound or steal. The first team to score 21 points via 1-pointer field goals or 2-pointers behind the arc is victorious; or if time expires then the team leading wins.

 

The 2024 USA 3×3 Nations League Teams will attend training camp in Phoenix July 18-20 before traveling to Mexico.
