Team USA breaks 7 records in dominant win over Jordan at FIBA U19 World Cup

Team USA had a dominant performance against Jordan at the FIBA U19 World Cup on Wednesday. The United States defeated Jordan 140-67 to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament. It was the most lopsided game of the Round of 16 as the United States advanced to play Canada in the quarterfinal.

In winning the game, Team USA entered the record books seven times. On four occasions, it set the all-time record in the category, whereas three other times it ranked second all-time in the category. The records were as follows:

• 140 Points - 2nd Best All-Time
• 41 Assists - 2nd Best All-Time
• Forced Opponent to 37 Turnovers - 2nd Best All-Time
• 31 Steals - All-Time Record
• 59 Field Goals Made - All-Time Record
• 52 2-Point Field Goals Made - All-Time Record
• 212 Efficiency Rating - All-Time Record

Team USA dominated against Jordan in nearly every category. The team got off to a strong start, taking a 32-15 lead in the first quarter and never relenting. Although Jordan had moments when it was capable of scoring, it was never able to shut down the United States defensively.

Conversely, while Team USA dominated on the offensive side of the ball, it also showed its defensive prowess. In the fourth quarter, when the game was already essentially over, the United States held Jordan to 11 points.

Team USA will play Canada in the quarterfinals of the FIBA U19 World Cup

By defeating Jordan in the Round of 16, Team USA advanced to the quarterfinals of the FIBA U19 World Cup. While the United States is one of the favorites to win the tournament, it is unlikely to have as dominant a performance again. In the quarterfinals, it will play its northern rivals, Canada.

Canada is another top team in the tournament and is coming off a 100-75 win over Mali. The two North American rivals will play on Friday for a spot in the semifinals. The game will tip off at 11:15 a.m. ET.

The winner will advance to the semifinals, which will be played on Saturday. The tournament will conclude on Sunday with the final and third-place game.

The United States is among the favorites to win the tournament at this stage, but there is still some strong competition for it to face. Notably, Canada will likely be the young team's toughest test in the tournament thus far.
