USA Basketball Wins U19 FIBA World Cup Gold Medal Over Mali

The last basket at the U19 FIBA World Cup was a Cade Cunningham dunk off an Isaac Likekele assist.

The United States defeated Mali 93-79 in the U19 FIBA World Cup Final on Sunday in Greece. Likekele, an Oklahoma State sophomore, and Cunningham, OSU’s top 2020 target, made quite the impact on the final.

After a slow start for the Americans, Likekele scored the USA’s first field goal nearly four minutes into the game. The Americans trailed 11-5 after the make.

Likekele finished the game a point shy of a double-double, as he had nine points and 10 rebounds.
