USA BASKETBALL HISTORY
ALL-TIME USA MEN’S U18 AMERICAS TEAM 1994 RESULTS
SANTA ROSA, ARGENTINA • AUGUST 26-SEPTEMBER 4, 1994
In a team effort from start to finish, the U.S. put on a dominating gold medal performance, led by University of Minnesota head coach Clem Haskins. Storming to a sparkling 8-0 record, the USA dominated the 10-team field, recording an average margin of victory of 40.1 points. Boasting of a potent offense that averaged 106.1 points, the USA featured an equally tough defense which limited its opponents to 66.0 points a game. In a game that was not as close as the final score indicates, the United States opened play with an 87-73 victory over eventual bronze med- alist Puerto Rico as Shareef Abdur-Rahim accounted for game highs of 25 points and 12 rebounds. Uruguay proved no match for the U.S. as Albert White tossed in 19 points to pace the Americans to a 124-81 victory. Turning up the defensive pressure and getting another solid performance from Abdur-Rahim (24 points, 15 rebounds), the U.S. blew out Panama 114-49. The USA concluded preliminary pool play 4-0 after its depth proved the difference in a 105-90 win over Brazil. Tremaine Fowlkes led the attack with 25 points. The USA, behind White’s 22 points, put Canada away early and recorded a 117-65 victory to open semifinal play. Venezuela fell victim to an aggressive USA defense that paved the way to a 112-50 victory as Fowlkes scored 20 points. A rematch with Brazil saw the Americans thun- der to a 109-48 victory as Richard Price headed the scoring attack with 19 points. Meeting 7-0 Argentina in the gold medal game, this USA victory did not come easy. Perseverance paid off for the U.S. as it managed to open a 10-point lead in the second half and held on for the 77-72 victory as Stephon Marbury accounted for 21 points and five assists, while Ab- dur-Rahim also finished with 21 points and added eight rebounds.
