Ashley to national 3x3 tryouts?

[CloneSt8]

Heard via the grape vine that Ashley Joens impressed the coaches of the national 3x3 team with her play in the recent 3x3 tournament. And she has been invited to the tryouts next week. Have not seen anything official on this.

Personally I thought the play of the entire Iowa State team in that tournament was outstanding!

I think the 3X3 tournament was the tryouts - if she did indeed get invited back then I think she was selected for the team which would be a HUGE accomplishment as the World Cup is the second biggest FIBA event behind the Olympics (in Europe some would say the World Cup is bigger).

This is correct - I posted it in the other 3x3 thread last week. She's going to the World Cup - I think it's in Belgium or France. The only other name I remember from the WC squad is Lauren Cox, It's a great opportunity for her and great PR for ISU - Go Team USA!

That is amazing, she's basically the perfect 3x3 player. Can dribble and drive, can shoot the 3, can defend the perimeter and the post.

Is the roster anywhere? I didn't see it on the FIBA page

It seems like it hasn't been officially announced yet, so I wouldn't expect to find it anywhere yet.

Formally announced on cyclones.com that Ashley Joens will be part of our national 3x3 team! Team plays in Antwerp Belgium June 21 through 26. Baylor's Lauren Cox is also part of the team.

Great honor for Ashley. She and the entire ISU team was impressive at the recent national event. Congrats, Ashley!
