The United States handled its group with ease.
The USA Basketball U19 team defeated Senegal 87-58 in the teams’ final game of group play at the U19 World Cup. The Americans unsurprisingly finished atop Group A, and their +87 point differential is the best of any team at the World Cup. The bracket portion of the tournament starts Wednesday. The U.S. will play Latvia to start that off.
Against Senegal on Tuesday, Oklahoma State sophomore Isaac Likekele had 10 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals and was a game-high +21. As usual, Likekele’s offense came from attacking the basket.
