TOLEDO, Ohio - University of Toledo sophomore AJ Edu will play in international competition for a second straight summer when he competes for the Philippines in the 2019 FIBA Under-19 Basketball World Cup in Greece from June 29-July 7. Edu helped the Philippines qualify for this event last year with a fourth-place finish in the 2018 FIBA Under-18 Asia Championships in Thailand.
