The teams will compete for a $150,000 prize pool, with the champions taking home $100,000, double the prize money from a year ago. Additionally, the winners will earn the right to compete in the 2019 USA Basketball 3x3 Open National Championship later this spring.

He was a two-time MVC Player of the Week and scored 34 points in a game twice, which was the most for any MVC player this year. He shot 51.3 percent from the field and 41.8 percent from the 3-point line. Fletcher also earned All-District 16 honors.Â
