Karter Knox, DJ Wagner lead Team USA to U17 Finals

The Americans are just one win away from locking up another gold medal.

On Saturday, Team USA dominated Lithuania in the semifinals of the U17 FIBA World Cup in Spain by a final score of 89-62. After taking an early 21-7 lead following the first quarter, Team USA cruised to the 27-point victory with several Kentucky men’s basketball targets showing out on the hardwood. Among the seven prospects currently being recruited by the Wildcats, a couple of them stood out more than the rest.

Team USA won’t have to wait long before the championship game, which is scheduled for Sunday afternoon at 3:00 p.
