JUÁREZ, MEXICO • JUNE 2-8, 2025
The USA U16 Men’s National Team took to the court in Juárez, Mexico, at the FIBA U16 Men’s AmeriCup, looking to add to their flawless 43-0 record in the competition’s history. The U16 squad began as they intended to, opening play with a massive 123-50 victory over host country Mexico in a packed arena. The red, white, and blue then followed up their opening performance with a commanding 111-54 win over Dominican Republic. CJ Rosser led the scoring, posting a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds, with six players tallying double-digit point totals for the second consecutive game. The U.S. capped group play with an impressive 124-56 victory over Argentina. Improving on their previous tally, seven players scored in double digits for the stars and stripes. The Americans’ dominance continued into the knockout stage with a 129-50 win over Brazil. Marcus Spears Jr. finished the matchup with 16 points and nine rebounds, narrowly missing a double-double. In their semifinal matchup against Puerto Rico, the U.S. trailed early for the first time in the tournament. The Americans quickly overcame the slow start, though, holding a 23-15 advantage going into the second period. The U.S. retained their usual control throughout the remainder of the contest, ending with a 106-68 victory. Colton Hiller finished with a game-high 23 points off the bench, while Spears Jr. filled up the stat sheet with 15 points, seven rebounds and four steals. The U.S. completed their run to a ninth gold medal as they took down Canada in the final. The red, white, and blue got off to an 8-0 start with their strong play continuing throughout, eventually winning 108-71. Nasir Anderson (41) and Beckham Black (39) both broke the U.S. Men’s U16 competition assist record, previously set by Rob Dillingham (37) in 2021. Anderson was named MVP of the competition with averages of 12.3 points and 6.8 assists per game and was joined by Spears Jr. on the event’s All-Star Five team.
