UConn women’s basketball is gunning for another national championship — sort of. On May 3-4, Olivia Nelson-Ododa, Megan Walker, Christyn Williams and USF’s Sydni Harvey will play for Team Connecticut in USA Basketball’s 3-on-3 National Championship in Las Vegas.
The three UConn players aren’t the only participants with ties to the Huskies. Former forward Andra Espinoza-Hunter will play for Mississippi State while former commit Charli Collier is on Texas’ roster.
The event is used as trials for US 3x3 National Team, who will compete at the 2019 Pan-Am Games. Last year, UConn didn’t have its own squad but Napheesa Collier competed in the tournament with team N.
