Valparaiso University senior guard Tevonn Walker has been selected to play in the inaugural Dos Equis 3X3U National Championship, starting on Friday.

This ground-breaking new event pits 32 four-man teams consisting of players from every Division I college basketball conference against each other in a three day, 3-on-3 tournament. These teams, comprised of seniors who have exhausted their collegiate eligibility, will compete for a $100,000 prize pool viewable live on Twitter and ESPN2 from Friday, March 30 through Sunday, April 1, 2018 at St. Mary's University's Bill Greehey Arena in San Antonio.

Walker will join three other players from Missouri Valley Conference schools to represent the league in San Antonio. Bradley's Donte Thomas, Indiana State's Brenton Scott and UNI’s Bennett Koch will compete alongside Walker for the championship.

He ranked eighth in the conference in scoring, second in steals and seventh in free throw percentage (.779).
