The UI College of Law’s Sports Law Society will host a three-on-three basketball tournament at the Field House Main Deck beginning at noon April 17.

The event, which was originally scheduled to be held Saturday outdoors, was moved because of potential rain, will feature guest referee and former Iowa women’s basketball player Kachine Alexander and possibly other former Iowa players. Alexander was drafted by the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx on Monday.

Currently, there are approximately eight teams signed up to play, but entry is still open at a cost of $25 per team with a maximum of five players per team. There is no official deadline to sign up and teams may enter the day of the event.

All proceeds raised by the tournament will benefit the United Way of Johnson County.

Those interested in signing up should e-mail event coordinator Alex Johnson at [email protected].
