COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Ayo Dosunmu’s shot to represent the United States at the FIBA Americas U18 Championship remains alive. The future Illinois guard was announced as one of the U18 National Team finalists after the first cut Sunday morning trimmed the roster from 33 to 18.

The remaining 18 players will continue training in Colorado Springs until June 8 and one final cut will finalize the roster at 12 before the team departs for St. Catharine’s, Ontario, Canada and the FIBA Americas U18 Championship. Team USA will play in Group A against Puerto Rico, Panama and the Dominican Republic.
