Four Harvard University men’s basketball players have earned a spot on the United States roster for the FISU 3×3 Americas Cup, set to take place in Honduras from May 17 to May 29, 2026. The team will begin with a five‑day training camp in Waco, Texas, where they will fine‑tune their chemistry before the tournament.
A Crimson Surge on the International Stage
The quartet — Ben Eisendrath, Dutch Dowdell, Joseph Quartey and Ryan Sullivan — will don the “USA Red” jersey as they battle 14 other squads drawn from 33 countries across Central and South America. Their preparation begins with a five‑day training camp in Waco, Texas, where they will fine‑tune their chemistry before the tournament.
Adding to the Ivy League presence, Yale University will field its own “USA Blue” side, meaning the Americas Cup will showcase a full slate of elite collegiate talent from the United States. The top two finishers will earn berths at the 2027 FISU 3×3 World Cup in China, making every game a direct pathway to global competition.
Beyond the hardwood, the Crimson contingent will take part in cultural exchange activities and mission work while in Honduras, blending athletic ambition with community outreach.
Head Coach Kelly Combs expressed enthusiasm about the mix of talent and the historic Ivy League representation, noting that the experience could reshape the landscape of collegiate basketball.
