With another blowout victory in hand, Team USA is now just two wins away from locking up another gold medal.
On Friday in Spain, the U17 Team USA squad took down Serbia in quarterfinal action by a final score of 106-80. The 26-point win for the Americans was actually the closest contest of the event so far, the second-highest being a 33-point victory against Slovenia during group play. Team USA will face Lithuania on Saturday, July 9 in the semifinals. The title and third-place matches are set for Sunday, July 11.
Of the 12 players on the roster, seven of them are receiving significant interest from Kentucky men’s basketball, headlined by a pair of ’23 five-stars in DJ Wagner and Ron Holland.
