FIBA U19 World Championships: USA advances to final vs. Croatia

Team USA will have a chance to defend its FIBA U19 gold medal after taking down host country Greece in the semifinals on Saturday by a score of 82-76.

It was by far the closest game Sean Miller and the U.S. squad have played to this point in the tournament, but they move on to face Croatia on Sunday. The Americans have already beaten Croatia 103-81 earlier in the tournament.

Incoming Arizona freshman Allonzo Trier did not look particularly sharp in this one, a day after sitting out the Italy game. Trier didn't look great on defense, and was even called for a technical foul for flopping.
