Team USA advanced to the gold medal game at the FIBA U18 Americas Championship with relative ease Saturday night.
Behind 17 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks from Oregon signee Kel’el Ware and a solid team effort on the defensive end, it blew past Argentina for a 98-60 victory in Tijuana, Mexico. Through five games at the event, Team USA has won four by at least 35 points.
Arkansas basketball signee Anthony Black also had no issues turning opponents’ shots away in the semifinal round. A standout on defense in the win, the 6-7 guard finished with 5 blocks and 1 steal in his 17:31 on the floor.
