Husker men's basketball signee Keisei Tominaga (pronounced Kee-sea Toe-may-nawga) will represent his home country in the Tokyo Olympics, as he was one of four players selected for Japan's 3x3 basketball team this week.
Tominaga, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound guard, is the youngest member of the four-player Japan team, as 3x3 basketball makes its Olympic Games debut in Tokyo. He will be the third Husker basketball player to play in the Olympic Games, joining Aleks Maric (2012, Australia) and Ade Dagunduro (2012, Nigeria).
The 3x3 competition runs from July 24-28 with pool play the first four days along with the quarterfinals.
