USA MEN’S U19 WORLD CUP TEAM 2011 RESULTS
LATVIA • JUNE 30-JULY 10, 2011
The USA’s attempt to repeat as FIBA U19 champions fell short, however, the Americans defeated both the gold and silver medalists and finished fifth. USA head coach Paul Hewitt led the USA to three preliminary round wins. Starting off with an 115-60 rout of Egypt, all 12 USA players scored and Doug McDermott tallied 19 points. Some big plays at critical times and a balanced scoring paced by Joe Jackson’s 19 paved the way to an exciting 80-78 victory over Serbia. Behind double-digit scoring from four USA players, the U.S. closed preliminary play with an 82-66 win over China. Jeremy Lamb paced the USA’s balanced scoring effort with 17 points. The fireworks for the USA’s Fourth of July celebration started midway through the first quarter, and when the final horn sounded, the Ameri- cans, led by 16 points from James Bell, had improved to 4-0 with a convincing 83-54 win against Canada in second round action. Lamb tallied a game-best 35 points, and Patric Young came up in overtime with two 3-point plays to lead the USA to a 107-105 overtime victory over Lith- uania. Lamb’s 35 points were the second-highest single-game point production for a USA U19 team member since the event first was staged in 1979. Croatia scored five points in the game’s final 50 seconds to steal an 87-85 win over the USA. The loss was the USA first setback of the championship. Lamb scored a game best 25 points, and Young finished with 15 points and eight rebounds. The U.S. faced Russia in the quarterfinals. Russia, behind 12-of-29 shooting from beyond the 3-point arc, combined with the USA going 0-for- 9 from 3-point, earned a 79-74 win to end the USA’s gold-medal hopes. Lamb paced the USA offense with 21 points. Getting points from all 12 players, including a game-best 19 points from McDermott, the USA rebounded impressively to rout Poland 84-47. Tim Hardaway Jr. scored a team-high 21 points and Lamb tipped in his own miss to provide the USA with the winning margin as the USA finished off the tournament with a 78-77 victory over Australia in the game to decide fifth place. Lamb, who finished averaging 16.2 points, was named to the five-member All-FIBA U19 World Championship Team.
