Idaho State's Geno Luzcando poses with a bag of money after leading the Big Sky Conference team to a win Friday over the Big 12 Conference at the 3X3U National Championship in San Antonio.
The event, which takes place Friday-Sunday in San Antonio at Bill Greehey Arena on St. Mary’s University's campus during the NCAA Tournament Final Four, pits all-star teams from college basketball’s 32 Division I conferences against each other in a three-day tournament that awards $100,000 in prize money. The team that wins the tournament takes home $50,000.
Luzcando played with Weber State’s Ryan Richardson, Northern Arizona's Kye De Laveaga and Southern Utah’s Jamal Aytes. All participants must be seniors who have officially ended their collegiate eligibility.
