While Ohio State came up a few games short of making this year's Final Four, one member of this past season's Buckeyes is in San Antonio and competing on the basketball court this weekend.
Jae'Sean Tate is one of four seniors from this past season representing the Big Ten – along with Indiana's Robert Johnson, Minnesota's Nate Mason and Purdue's Vincent Edwards – in the inaugural 3X3U National Championship, a competition pitting 32 teams of college basketball players who exhausted their eligibility this past season, joined by conference affiliation, in a 3-on-3 tournament for cash prizes.
Tate and the Big Ten won both of their games in pool play on Friday night, receiving $1,000 in cash – handed to them in a bag immediately after each game – for each win.
