Daily Brews: Caleb Houstan, Team Canada’s championship hopes come to an end

The FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup comes to a close on Sunday in Latvia as Team USA and Team France meet in the championship. The USA team beat Team Canada and five-star Michigan commit Caleb Houstan 92-86 on Saturday morning.

The future Wolverine shot just over 30% from the field, going 6-for-19 and 3-of-10 from deep — scoring a team-high 23 points in the loss. His top moment of the game was hitting a three-pointer over the No. 1 player in the 2021 class, and Gonzaga-commit, Chet Holmgren, staring him down after converting.

Still, Canada was outmatched by the USA squad, who played much better team ball.
