CU women reach semifinals of USA Basketball 3x3 tournament

Four members of Colorado's women's basketball team extended their 2016-17 season one more weekend by competing at the USA Basketball 3x3 National Tournament last weekend at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

Senior Haley Smith, sophomores Makenzie Ellis and Kennedy Leonard, and freshman Quinessa Caylao-Do made up CU's team for the tournament.

Six Pac-12 schools competed against other organized teams as the conference piloted a program to expand 3-on-3 basketball at the national level to hopefully compete on a world stage in future years.

The tournament was a sentimental experience for Smith, who got one final chance to compete with her college teammates.
