COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Rising sophomore Austin Wiley has been named to the 12-member USA Basketball U19 World Cup Team that will compete for the gold medal in Cairo, Egypt July 1-9.
Wiley will be vying for his second-straight gold in as many summers as he was averaged 8.0 points and a team second-best 6.4 rebounds for Team USA’s gold medal winner at the FIBA Men’s U17 World Championship in Zaragoza, Spain in 2016. He also attended the 2015 U16 National Team training camp and has participated in the past three October minicamps.
Only Kentucky had more players than Auburn in the 27-player tryouts as Wiley and rising freshman Chuma Okeke made the first cut to 18 on Tuesday.
