- Can Princeton keep the win streak going?
What’s next for Princeton?
Princeton is off to Malaysia to play in the Penang Challenger tournament this weekend. Coming off a huge win at Hongcheon Challenger where they went undefeated, let’s see if they can extend their win streak past 5 in a row. 👏
Penang Challenger, like other FIBA 3×3 tournaments, will start with pool play where the 12 participating teams are divided into 4 pools of 3 teams. Each team plays 2 pool games and the top 8 teams advance to the quarter finals.

Who’s going
The roster looks slightly different from the last tournament. Damon Huffman is sitting this one out and Jerome Desrosiers is going in his place. With Austin at 6’5” as the shortest guy on the roster, expect to see these guys crash the boards from start to finish. Austin Butler, Jerome Desrosiers, Riley Grigsby, and Henry Caruso
