Rock Hill, S.C. – Winthrop's
Patrick Good has been selected to participate 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. Good is one of four players that will be part of the Tobacco Road Ryders.
Good played this past season with the Eagles as a graduate student, finishing third on the team in scoring at 11.2 ppg and garnering Big South All-Conference Honorable Mention honors. He was one of the top shooters behind the arc with a Big South best 42.5 percent from three (which currently ranks 11
th in NCAA D1). He averaged 2.6 triples per game, which was second in the Big South. He made a splash early in the season by dropping 33 points on the road at Washington State behind 11 threes. He finished the game 11-of-19 from three, nine of which came in the second half alone. It was the first of three 30-point games on the season. The Johnson City, Tenn. native reached the 1,000 career plateau this season and finished her collegiate career with 281 three-pointers.
