Team USA battles past Canada to reach FIBA U19 semifinals, while LSU targets top recruit Autumn Fleary.

Team USA showcased resilience in a nail-biting quarterfinal against Canada, edging out a 108-102 victory to secure their spot in the semifinals of the 2025 FIBA U19 World Cup. This match was a stark contrast to their previous dominance, where they had an average victory margin of 44.5 points. Purdue center Daniel Jacobsen contributed modestly with two points, one rebound, and a block in just five minutes of play, maintaining a plus-2 rating. His earlier performance against Jordan, where he exploded for 15 points, five rebounds, and five blocks, highlighted his potential as a rising star.

As Team USA prepares to face the winner of the New Zealand vs. Switzerland matchup on July 5 at 2 p.m. ET, the spotlight also shines on Purdue guard Omer Mayer, who has been a standout for Israel, leading in key statistical categories during their quarterfinal clash against Slovenia. Meanwhile, the recruiting landscape heats up as LSU Women’s Basketball, under the guidance of Kim Mulkey, intensifies their pursuit of top-five point guard Autumn Fleary. The 5-star recruit recently narrowed her choices to LSU, North Carolina, UCLA, and Duke, making her a coveted prospect for the 2026 class.
