Gangurrus Qualify For FIBA U23 3x3 World Cup
California women's basketball senior guard Lulu Twidale competed for Australia in this month's FIBA 3x3 Youth Nation's League and helped her team qualify for a spot in the FIBA 3x3 U23 World Cup and go undefeated over the course of the six-day tournament in the Asia West/Pacific region which took place in Singapore. The Australian national team, known as the Gangurrus, won all 18 games and even recorded the fastest victory of the tournament with its 21-0 win over Qatar in a record time of 4:44.
The competition was part of a larger group of regional tournaments that were scheduled across Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and the Pacific throughout the summer with each tournament's winner qualifying for the FIBA 3x3 U23 World Cup in Hubei, China which will take place Sep. 15-19. The Asia West/Pacific region consisted of host Singapore, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Turkmenistan across six stops.
Twidale averaged 6.1 points per game and led the team in scoring in eight of the contests including the first three of the tournament. She scored at least eight points in six matches.
Twidale is coming off her best season as a Golden Bear in which she set programs records for both single-season and career 3-pointers and finished the season fifth in the nation for triples (101). Last season she posted three 30-point games and had career season highs in scoring (16.2), points (566), assists (128), 3-pointers, rebounds (138) and free throws made (109). Twidale enters the 2026-27 season ranked second in the NCAA for career 3-pointers among active players.
