COLUMBIA, Mo. - Graduate senior guard Kassius Robertson (Toronto, Ontario), fresh off one of the most prolific outside shooting seasons in Mizzou Men's Basketball history, will represent the Tigers one final time in the inaugural Dos Equis 3X3U National Championship.
This ground-breaking new event will pit 32 four-man teams consisting of players from every Division I college basketball conference against each other in a three day, 3-on-3 tournament.
These teams, comprised of seniors who have exhausted their collegiate eligibility, will compete for a $100,000 prize pool viewable live on Twitter and ESPN2 from Friday, March 30, through Sunday, April 1, at St. Mary's University's Bill Greehey Arena in San Antonio.
Robertson is one of four players selected from the Southeastern Conference, joining the Georgia duo of Yante Maten and Juwan Parker, and South Carolina's Frank Booker.
An All-SEC First-Team selection, Robertson sank the third-most three-pointers (105) in a single-season in program history. His 16.3 points per game led the Tigers and ranked as the highest scoring average for a graduate transfer at the high major level. Robertson showed out on the biggest stage of the season, scoring 19 points in the NCAA Tournament's First Round vs. Florida State (March 16) and matching his season-best in three-pointers with six makes from deep range.
The Dos Equis 3X3U National Championship will begin on Friday, March 30, with 24 pool play games streamed live on Twitter from 6 p.m.-11:30 p.m. CT and will continue on Saturday, March 31, with another 24 pool play games streamed live on Twitter from 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m. CT.
