Four players from Florida women's basketball 2025-26 roster will compete in the 2025 USA 3X Nationals in Arizona.

MESA, Ariz. – From May 2–4, four standout Gators will represent Florida at the 2025 USA Basketball 3X Nationals, held at the Arizona Athletic Grounds. Veterans Laila Reynolds and Me'Arah O'Neal return to the roster, joined by fresh faces K'Nisha Godfrey and Jade Weathersby.


The tournament tips off Friday, May 2, with opening matchups and continues through Sunday’s medal rounds. Teams will be seeded based on their preliminary performance before entering bracket play on May 4.

Played on a half court with a 10-minute game clock and a 12-second shot clock, the format crowns the first team to reach 21 points—or the leader at the buzzer—as the winner.


Sixteen women’s teams will compete, split into four pools. Florida joins Pool D alongside Chaos, 3XBA, and Stephen F. Austin, with their first matchup against Stephen F. Austin scheduled for May 2 at 10:30 PM ET.

Florida is one of three SEC programs participating, alongside South Carolina and Vanderbilt. Other collegiate teams include Fairfield, James Madison, Oklahoma State, Richmond, South Dakota State, Stephen F. Austin, and TCU. Pro team 3XBA and independent squad Team Phoenix round out the field.


The 3X Nationals also serve as a scouting ground for future USA Basketball 3x3 national teams, including the 2025 FIBA 3x3 World Cup in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, and rosters for the 3x3 World Tour, Women’s Series, U23 Nations League, and U23 World Cup.
