“Did they beat the U.S.?”

South Korea’s men’s 3×3 basketball team created a major upset on the international stage, decisively asserting their presence by defeating the powerhouse United States by seven points.

On the 16th, South Korea defeated the United States in Group D of the 2026 FIBA 3×3 U23 World Cup held in Wuhan, China, with a score of 21-14.

After narrowly losing their opening match against Lithuania 18-20, South Korea secured their first victory of the tournament by defeating the United States, finishing the group stage with one win and one loss.

At the center of the victory was Lee Dong-geun.

Lee recorded a team-high eight points, including three two-point shots, breaking through the U.S. defense, and also grabbed three rebounds.

Kim Seung-woo contributed six points and two rebounds with two successful two-point shots, while Lee Ju-young added four points and six rebounds to strengthen the paint. Gu Min-gyo recorded three points and three rebounds.

Notably, their perimeter shooting proved highly effective.

South Korea made a total of six two-point shots on the day, troubling the United States. In 3×3 basketball, shots taken from outside the standard three-point line are counted as two points, making each perimeter shot particularly valuable.

FIBA also gave significant coverage to South Korea’s victory.

Through its official website, FIBA stated, “There was drama in Group D as well. South Korea defeated the United States 21-14.”

It further added, “Lee Dong-geun led South Korea with eight points, including three two-point shots,” and evaluated that “South Korea produced one of the biggest results of the day.”

The victory carried meaning beyond a simple win.

Although South Korea received relatively modest expectations for this tournament, it proved its competitiveness by creating a major upset against the powerhouse United States.

Competition for standings in Group D has intensified.

With Lithuania leading at two wins, South Korea, the United States, and Argentina are all tied at one win and one loss. China remains winless with two losses.

For South Korea, the remaining two matches have become even more critical.

South Korea will face Argentina on the 18th at 7:20 p.m., followed by a match against host nation China later that day at 10:15 p.m.

Having boosted morale by defeating the formidable United States, South Korea is determined to continue its upward momentum in the remaining group stage matches.

Edwards Helps U.S. to 3×3 World Cup Gold – University of South Carolina Athletics

3x3ce.org — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 08:29:50 +0000

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina sophomore forward Joyce Edwards averaged 4.4 points and 4.1 rebounds to help the United States to its fourth gold medal in the FIBA 3×3 World Cup. Playing seven games in Warsaw, Poland, Edwards was the top U.S. rebounder twice and top scorer once, shooting 52.1 percent from the field.

The gold medal is Edwards’ fourth when competing for USA Basketball but her first in 3×3 action. Her previous three gold medals came in 5×5 events – 2025 FIBA AmeriCup, 2024 FIBA U18 AmeriCup and 2023 FIBA U19 World Cup.

The U.S. went undefeated to win Pool B, topping Hungary, Australia, Mongolia and Spain. Edwards as the top scoring and rebounding American in the 20-17 win over Mongolia with seven points and eight rebounds in Thursday’s first game.

In Saturday’s quarterfinals, the U.S. eked by France 18-16 with Edwards netting six points and a team-high four rebounds to send the Americans into the medal rounds on Sunday.

A back-and-forth semifinal against Azerbaijan included 11 ties and overtime as the American had to rally late for the win. After Azerbaijan took a 12-10 lead with 2:34 to play, Edwards scored on back-to-back possessions inside. Free throws allowed Azerbaijan to stay two points ahead of the U.S. over the next two possessions. The Americans scored four straight points to go up 17-15 with 10 seconds remaining before a buzzer-beater send the game to overtime. In the extra period, the game would be decided by the first team to score to points. The U.S. struck first and after the 11th tie, hit the final shot to win the game 19-18.

The gold medal game was a rematch against Australia after the Americans won 21-18 in pool play. The U.S. jumped out to a 4-0 lead and led by six as Edwards capped a 3-0 run for an 11-5 advantage. Australia continued to fight back, using turnovers to fuel a 5-0 run that knotted the game at 17-17 and later take a 20-19 lead with under a minute to play. As the clock wound down, the U.S. missed a potential game-winning 2-pointer but got the rebound and the second long-range attempt went in to deliver the gold medal.

Joining Edwards on the U.S. team were MiLaysia Fulwiley (LSU), Mikaylah Williams (LSU) and Sahara Williams (Oklahoma).

U.S. women reclaim FIBA 3×3 World Cup title on LSU star’s game winner

3x3ce.org — Sun, 09 Aug 2026 22:41:44 +0000

LSU star Mikaylah Williams hit the game winner with 28 seconds left as the U.S. women reclaimed the world title in 3×3 basketball, 21-20 over longtime 5×5 rival Australia, on Sunday.

Williams, a rising LSU senior, was MVP of the FIBA 3×3 World Cup in Warsaw, Poland, where the Americans went undefeated for the first time since 2014 and earned their fourth world title.

The U.S. quartet in Warsaw also included fellow LSU star MiLaysia Fulwiley (team-leading nine points in the final), South Carolina leading scorer Joyce Edwards and rising Oklahoma senior Sahara Williams.

The first FIBA 3×3 World Cup was in 2012, and the event made its Olympic debut in 2021. The U.S. won the first Olympic title in Tokyo, then took bronze in Paris.

At the 2025 FIBA 3×3 World Cup, a U.S. quartet that also included Mikaylah Williams and Sahara Williams lost in the quarterfinals to host Mongolia.

Another 3×3 World Cup is scheduled for 2027 in Singapore.

For the 2024 Paris Games, the original U.S. women’s 3×3 roster of four players included three from the team that won the 2023 World Cup: Cameron Brink, Cierra Burdick and Hailey Van Lith. Burdick and Van Lith were also on the 2022 World Cup team.

Brink later tore an ACL before the Games and was replaced by Dearica Hamby for Paris.

Since Paris, 2016 Olympic gold medalist Elena Delle Donne was named the first USA Basketball women’s 3×3 national team managing director, tasked with forming teams for major championships.

Also in Warsaw, the U.S. men lost in the quarterfinals to France 14-11. The team was made up of 2024 Olympian Dylan Travis, plus Henry Caruso, Mitch Hahn and James Parrott.

Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Latvia won its first men’s 3×3 World Cup title.
