The U19 USA Men's Basketball Team secured a 102-84 win over Lithuania Saturday, getting a big lift from future Wildcat Jeremiah Robinson-Earl along the way.
Robinson-Earl scored 17 points on perfect 8-8 shooting in Saturday's win. That mark tied a record for an USA U19 game. Additionally, his 17 points were good for third on the team.
After posting a dobule-double in the team's opening exhibition earlier this week, Robinson-Earl now has two standout performances under his belt in Greece.
The United States is now 2-0 in group play and will wrap up that stage of the tournament on Tuesday at 9 AM against Senegal (0-2). I'm hoping to get a chance to watch that game and to be able to provide a more detailed breakdown of Robinson-Earl's performance.
