FIBA U19 - American Gold and Big Maple Bronze
Andrew Nelles-USA TODAY Sports The 2021 FIBA U19 was an unequivocal success for Purdue’s three participants.
Zach Edey cleared another double-double in the third place game and Team Canada podiums for the bronze medal. Canada’s only loss came at the hands of tournament favorite, Team USA.
Jaden Ivey and Caleb Furst helped keep Team USA’s slate clean racking up their seventh win in the tournament and placing gold around their necks in the process.
Team USA came back and then held off France, 83-81, with a ton of future NBA talent and a few potential #1 picks on the court.
