The Americans look to continue their U17 tournament dominance in a group play rematch.
After earning a 98-70 win over Lithuania in the semifinals, Team USA advanced to the gold medal game of the 2016 FIBA U17 World Championship. They’ll have a rematch from group play against Turkey as the Americans look to move to 30-0 all time in the U17 tournament’s history.
Why are we mentioning this here, on your favorite Marquette athletics website/blog/The O.C. recap site? Well, because incoming men’s basketball freshman Markus Howard is on Team USA, that’s why. Even more importantly, FIBA is going to be streaming all of the games on their YouTube channel, and we wanted to give you a chance to watch Howard in action.
