Peterson’s such a killer. If I had to bet a meaningful amount on the ‘25 most likely to become a 20pt NBA scorer, it wouldn’t be Dybantsa, it’d be Peterson.

I think this was a "showcase" game and the actual tournament starts on Saturday?

That is correct although I thought I read bracket play starts on Thursday.  The whole event concludes on Sunday the 14th.

Good thing this morning was another showcase game as Indiana Elite got waxed 78-57 by New World.   IE trailed 39-33 at the half.  Turnovers again a problem in the first half.

Mullins finished with 20p;  3r;  2a.  Moreno 13p;  10r.   Grant Polk from New World made 8-3's and a teammate poured in 25p.

Mikel Brown with another solid game today -- 24p;  5r;  6a

Nate Ament --  16p (6-11 FG;  2-3 on 3s);  11r;  1b

Trevor Andershock on Wednesday's 3SSB.  https://247sports.com/college/indiana/article/indiana-hoosiers-basketball-recruiting-wednesday-adidas-3ssb-palmetto-road-championship-233724126/

 

Dushawn London on Nate Ament --  

Ament has been a prospect who has been consistently playing at an elite level throughout the spring. The now five-star followed up big performances at DMV Live by helping lead his team to a win over Mass Rivals. What stood out the most was Ament's versatility and the way he can impact the game outside of just scoring. While he did have an efficient night offensively, Ament made his biggest impact by rebounding the ball, blocking shots and playing within the game.  Ament is currently being recruited by some of the top programs in the nation including: UConn Duke Kentucky Indiana among others

Internationals, really? Thought the roster building strategy was pretty clear. Guess not.

IE squad won earlier today to advance in the 3SSB championship.  The 2 losses in the showcase games were of no consequence but the rest of the way it's a single elimination event.    They play again this afternoon vs Team Loaded (NC) which features Mikel Brown.

Moreno:  20 PTS, 9 REB, 5 BLK                9-14 FG

Mullins:  12 PTS, 6 REB, 6 AST, 2 STL     5-15 FG

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,517]

Big win for IE as they mercy ruled Mikel Brown and Team Loaded (NC) 68-48.  We were 4-deep at this game.  IE will face the winner of Team Loaded VA (Nate Ament) vs. Power 5 on Saturday in a quarterfinal game.

Mullins:  22 points on 6-11 shooting from 3.

Sisley: 13 points; 5 reb           3-4 on 3s
