Arizona Wildcats signee Zeke Nnaji is one of 18 finalists for the 2019 USA Basketball Men’s Under-19 World Cup Team.

Roster cuts were made Tuesday that narrowed the talent pool from 31 players to 18 after five practice sessions over the past three days.

The finalists will continue to train twice a day in Colorado Springs, and the roster will be trimmed to 12 by the time the team departs for Greece on June 24. The World Cup takes place June 29-July 7.

Of the 18 finalists, five completed their first collegiate season in 2018-19, five are from the high school class of 2019 and eight are from the high school class of 2020.
