COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Columbia women's basketball alumna Abbey Hsu '24CC has been selected to the USA Basketball 3x3 Women's AmeriCup Team, as announced by USA Basketball on Thursday. The 2024 USA 3x3 Women's AmeriCup Team includes Abbey Hsu, Maddy Siegrist, Azurá Stevens and Brittney Sykes. 

Hsu was one of 13 participants selected to attend USA Basketball 3x3 Women's National Team development camp Nov. 8-10 in Phoenix. This is her second time landing on a USA Basketball roster, winning silver with the USA 5-on-5 team at the 2023 AmeriCup.

The 2024 FIBA 3x3 AmeriCup takes place Dec. 12-15 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The USA women will look to defend their 2023 title – they also won gold in 2021.

The American women tip off Pool A on Dec. 14 against the Dominican Republic (3:30 p.m. ET) and Uruguay (6:35 p.m. ET). Following pool play, the top two teams from each of the four three-team pools advance to the quarterfinals on Dec. 15. For the full schedule, click here.  

Hsu graduated from Columbia last May with 2,126 career points, the most among any player, men's or women's, in Columbia basketball history. She was also the first Columbia player to eclipse the 2,000-point plateau and the first in Ivy League women's basketball history since Harvard's Hana Peljto in 2004. She ranks third on the Ivy League women's all-time scoring list. Among her many other records, the two-time All-America Honorable Mention and 2023-24 Ivy League Player of the Year ranks first in Ivy League women's history in career 3-pointers (375).

Hsu was the 34th overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft and the first draft pick in Columbia women's basketball history. She played her first professional season with Basket Namur Capitale of the Belgian Women's Basketball League team, signing with them in August. The Sun still own Hsu's WNBA rights after Columbia's all-time scoring leader elected not to attend training camp.

The FIBA 3x3 AmeriCup has been held annually since 2021. The field features teams from the FIBA Americas zone competing for the 3x3 zone championship. For more information, click here.  

Different than 5-on-5, 3x3 is played on a half-court with a 10-minute game clock and 12-second shot clock. Play is continuous, as teams "clear" the ball behind the 2-point line following a made basket, defensive rebound or steal. The first team to score 21 points via 1-point field goals or 2-pointers behind the arc is victorious; or if time expires then the team leading wins.
