At the beginning of May, four South Carolina players participated in the USA Basketball 3X Nationals in Arizona. Tuesday night, USA Basketball released a behind-the-scenes video that followed the South Carolina team. 

Chloe Kitts, Tessa Johnson, Joyce Edwards, and Maddy McDaniel made up South Carolina’s team at the event. Gamecock assistant coach Khadijah Sessions was their coach, although coaches are not allowed to communicate with players during games.

The women’s tournament featured 16 teams, including Florida, Oklahoma State, South Dakota State, TCU, and Vanderbilt. 3X Nationals served 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. 

In pool play, South Carolina beat Phoenix 21-13 on the first day. On the second day, South Carolina won both games, 21-5 over South Dakota State and 16-11 over James Madison, to secure first place in its pool. 

South Carolina cruised in its quarterfinal game, beating Oklahoma State 21-9. But Team Chaos, led by former Gamecock MiLaysia Fulwiley, ended South Carolina’s run with a 21-10 defeat in the semifinals. 

South Carolina was awarded third place based on total points scored. Individual stats were not kept.

3×3 is played on a half court with a 10-minute clock and a 12-second shot clock. The first team to 21 points, or the team in the lead at the end of regulation, is the winner.  

The video follows South Carolina and Team Omaha, one of the men’s squads competing at the event.
