Several Kentucky targets win gold medal at U17 FIBA World Cup

The Americans continued their domination of international basketball on Sunday afternoon.

Over in Spain at the U17 FIBA World Cup, top-ranked Team USA overcame a five-point halftime deficit against No. 2 ranked Spain in the championship round to secure a 79-67 victory. The win marks the sixth consecutive gold medal for Team USA at the FIBA World Cup, a streak that began 12 years ago in Germany.

As you probably know by now, seven of the 12 players on the U17 Team USA roster are being recruited by the Kentucky Wildcats — some more than others.
