W&M’s David Cohn Selected to Participate in the Inaugural Dos Equis 3X3U National Championship

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – William & Mary men's basketball senior David Cohn has been selected to participate 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, 2018 at St. Mary's University's Bill Greehey Arena in San Antonio. Cohn will be one of four players selected from the Colonial Athletic Association along with Charleston's Joe Chealey, Hofstra's Rokas Gustys and Towson's Mike Morsell.

An All-CAA Third Team selection in 2018, Cohn enjoyed a stellar senior campaign, averaging 14.2 points and 6.7 assists per game. He is the only player in the country with shooting percentages of 50 percent from the floor (52.9), 40 percent from 3-point range (42.6) and 90 percent from the free throw line (91.2) in 2017-18. The Elmhurst, Ill., native ranked sixth nationally in free throw shooting and 11th in assists per game. In just three seasons, Cohn established a number of W&M school records including career assists (490), single-season assists (207 in 2017-18), career assist average (5.3), single-season assist average (6.7 in 2017-18), career assist-to-turnover ratio (2.66) and single-season assist-to-turnover ratio (2.81 in 2015-16). A two-year campaign, he reached career milestones of 1,000 points (1,049) and 500 assists (519) in W&M's 114-104 win over eventual CAA Champion Charleston.

The Dos Equis 3X3U National Championship will begin on Friday, March 30 with 24 pool play games streamed live on Twitter from 7 p.m.-12:30 a.m. EST and will continue on Saturday, March 31 with another 24 pool play games streamed live on Twitter from 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. EST. The event will conclude on Sunday, April 1 with the quarterfinals broadcast live on Twitter from 1:35-3 p.m. EST, and the semifinals, third-place game and championship game broadcast live on ESPN2 from 3:30-5:30 p.m. EST.

"We are so excited to host these 128 players at this one-of-a-kind event," said Drew Russell, Intersport's Vice President of Sports Properties. "For fans, this will be an opportunity to see the nation's top seniors compete in the rapidly growing and faced-paced nature of 3-on-3 basketball. For players, it will be one last opportunity to showcase their skills on a national stage and give them the chance to earn a significant sum of money. It will also expose them to the 3-on-3 format which may lead to new opportunities as they take the next step in their professional careers."

Every game of the Dos Equis 3X3U National Championship matters as money will be on the line at all times throughout the competition. Participants will compete for a $100,000 prize pool that will be distributed as follows:
 
• Each pool play win will earn the team $1,000.

• A semifinal win will earn the team $1,000.

The Dos Equis 3X3U National Championship Player Selection Committee consists of college basketball experts from a wide range of media outlets including ESPN, CBS Sports, The Athletic, USA Today, NBC Sports, The Ringer, and more. The Committee worked feverishly throughout the season to determine the nation's top senior college basketball players who have been selected to compete.
