Unlikely 3-Pointer Seals Shot at $2 Million Prize
1 Aug
Summary
- Brown hit a game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer.
- He plays for the Davis Steel team in The Basketball Tournament.
- The tournament offers a $2 million winner-take-all prize.
Former University of Washington basketball player Terrell Brown Jr. recently made headlines for a dramatic buzzer-beating 3-pointer. The shot propelled his team, Davis Steel, to a 71-69 victory over the Mecca and into the championship game of The Basketball Tournament. This single-elimination competition features makeshift teams vying for a substantial $2 million prize.
Brown's clutch play is particularly noteworthy given his career struggles with three-point shooting. Despite leading the Pac-12 in scoring in 2022, his long-range accuracy has been a consistent challenge throughout his college and G League careers. His game-winner in Las Vegas represents a significant moment, as he and his teammates prepare to compete for the championship in Lexington, Kentucky, on Sunday.
The championship game is scheduled to be broadcast nationally on FOX Sports at 10 a.m. PT. Brown, alongside former Arizona teammate Gabe York and other assembled players, has an opportunity to secure a major payday in this unique tournament.
