United States 75-63 Argentina

With the expected CT effort from Argentina, we knew going into this game that is was going to be a battle despite have a massive GS advantage. Playing a game against a team going CT is always tough despite the circumstances, but the boys held strong and completed the dub. After trailing for the entire first half, we came out swinging in the 2nd half, putting on a show in the 3rd quarter that gave us a large enough lead to hold in the 4th. Bunn farmed these guys putting up 32 points on 50% shooting. The defensive effort today was outstanding, holding them to only 63 points on 26% shooting. Another thing to point out was the rebounding dominance from Penn and Calderon, but specifically Penn who put up 23 himself. Very nice win against a team trying much harder than us.

Even though this game meant absolutely nothing, it was nice to get the win to complete the undefeated pool play! This is only the first step though, as we are charging forward for that gold trophy. We start out in the semifinal vs Hungary. Hungary is coming off a narrow 4 point loss vs Italy today, and we played them way back on 6/6 where we came away with a 112-100 victory. They are a much improved team and this will surely be a great game, so we are going to come with the fire. It is time for the playoff run!!

Go USA!

United States 71-59 Hungary

WE ARE FINALS BOUND!!! After a defensive battle from both sides we are able to walk away with the 12 point victory. We knew going into this game that it was going to be a tough game and that is exactly what it was. We came out strong in the first half, winning each of the first 2 quarters by 7 points so held a comfortable 14 point lead at half. The second half was back and forth, where they ultimately outscored us by a total of 2 points which gave us the 12 point win. The defense held them to 59 points....what else even needs to be said? Completely suffocated them the whole game.

We have a finals matchup with Poland next week. I think many people around the community expected Italy to win this game today, but I knew Poland had a real chance to take this game. They end up taking a very convincing win after some very questionable tactic choices from Italy despite the missed GDP. Not quite sure what Italy was thinking this game but it costed them big time. It is going to be a fantastic matchup in the final, and you will not want to miss it! We are coming hungry for that gold.

We are at the final step in our journey, let's finish strong!
Go USA!

I’d like to know who the second dildo is who disapproves of Antwon (besides Oriole). The man has brought us to a finals and has masterfully navigated this team.

Well done Antwon. Let’s go USA

United States 92-86 Poland

WEEEEEEEE ARE THE CHAMPIONSSSSSSS!!!!!! WOW what a game that was. I quite literally could not even watch. We went down by a huge chunk of points (17 I think?) in the first quarter, and went into the 4th quarter down 10. We stayed true to our identity all season which was our 4th quarter comebacks and made another one work today. Defense struggled more today than it has all season, but stood strong in the critical moments and offense was able to score when needed. Ransom led the team by a longshot in scoring, with 22 points and the next closest being Colon with 13. Calderon and Penn struggled heavily until the 4th, but when it came down to it they locked up the paint, grabbed the necessary boards and even snagged themselves a few dunks. Poland seemed a bit tired in the end and could not close.

And that does it for my term folks. 13-0 in Season 56 Americas and 11-0 in Season 57 Worlds put me at a perfect 24-0 in official matches. I could not have done it without all of my trainers who built these players and kept them in good GS throughout the seasons, along with my staff with whom I carefully discussed these crucial games. This is our first Worlds gold since Season 29, which was 7.5 years ago.

I hope you all don't think I am done.....I AM RUNNING IT BACK GOING FOR THE BACK TO BACK. LETS GOOOOOO

Great game to you! Was very nervous in the beginning when it seemed like we could not defend a single shot. You did an incredible job with your team this season, making the world final is a great accomplishment. Hopefully we can have some more battles in the future

Thanks!

Interesting to note that 3 of our 5 world championships have come against Poland.
Also, 40% of our championships have come with one of my players on the team. Maybe I should train more players for U21.
