Hatters Christiaan Jones selected to participate in 2022 Dos Equis 3X3U National Championship

16 teams of players representing every Division I conference will compete for $150,000 prize pool live on Twitter and ESPN Networks

New Orleans, La. – Stetson University men's basketball graduate student Christiaan Jones has been selected to participate in and represent the ASUN Conference in the 2022 Dos Equis 3X3U National Championship, scheduled for April 1-3 at The Sugar Mill in New Orleans. 
 
Sixty-four players, who have elected to begin their professional careers, will represent all 32 Division I conferences, and compete for their share of $150,000 – one of the largest prize purses at any FIBA 3x3 sanctioned events – by teaming up with other aspiring pro prospects from around the country. Each conference will be paired with another, forming 16 four-man rosters that will be separated into four pools. Jones is one of four players that will be part of the SUNs of Anarchy team as the ASUN and Sun Belt Conferences were paired together in Pool B.
 
Jones comes off his fifth and final season for the Hatters as the Columbia, S.C. native was an impact player over his five years at Stetson. Jones finished his career as Stetson's all-time leader in games played with 151 and became only the ninth player in program history to eclipse the 1500 career-point threshold, finishing with 1534 total points. Jones is ninth all-time in field goals made (554), seventh in 3-pt made (159), and fifth in steals (152). Jones is a two-time ASUN all-tournament team member and twice earned ASUN Player of the Week honors, with one coming this season after averaging 19.5 points per game, 6 boards and 1.5 assists in back-to-back wins for the Hatters back in December.
 
Teams will play each squad in their respective pool on April 1 and 2 before all 16 will head to the knockout stage on April 3, with the top two teams from each pool receiving byes to the quarterfinals. The winning team from each pool play game will win $1,000, victories in the first two knockout rounds will net another $1,000, a quarterfinal win is worth $5,000, a semifinal triumph is another $10,000, while the team that takes home the Tournament title will add $50,000 to their winnings.
