By the way, most of the qualifying points the USA Olympic players had amassed came from a tournament in December 2019 thru January 2020. The tournament was in Pittsburgh, PA. Besides the 4 USA Olympic players that played in Pittsburgh, I saw Clarendon and Kelly Farris playing on some teams. I am sure there were others, just didnt see other names.

I would think the Fiba 3x3 site on You Tube might show this event.

Former 3x3 world champion (in 2014) Cierra Burdick led all scorers and rebounders in the final (8 and 7) and got a little help from Breanna Richardson, who scored the buzzer beater on a tough contested drive.

Rarely had we seen such a versatile and team-oriented squad on the Women’s Series: three of their players ranked in the top 5 in the coring (Linnae Harper and Alexis Peterson tied at second with 27 points, Burdick fifth with 25).

Even after beating world no. 1 France in the qualifying tournament the US was
seeded 8th even behind Mongolia.

Who did the seeding for this tournament?

The good news is that the round robin format makes the seedings moot. Even Japan beating them in round robin game 7 did not matter as they were eliminated in the quarterfinals.
