Oliogu, Brown Jr. Compete at AmeriCup

Mikel Brown Jr. and the U18 USA National Team kicked off the 2024 FIBA Men’s U18 AmeriCup on Monday night with an 88-66 win over Argentina in pool play 🇺🇸

Brown Jr. was instrumental in securing Team USA’s first victory, as he started and went for 15 points, four rebounds, three assists and three steals in 27 minutes of action ⭐

Brown Jr. put Team USA on the board to begin the game with a three-pointer from the left wing to get the momentum going early. He hit his second three of the night at the 5:38 mark of the first quarter, which sparked another 10-0 run for the Americans to put them up by six at the end of the first 💥

Brown Jr. served as a calming presence throughout the evening for Team USA, quieting a last gasp run in the third quarter with a big finish to put Team USA back up by nine and leading to the eventual closeout 💪

Elsewhere at the AmeriCup, Efeosa Oliogu got the start for Team Canada, and despite falling to the Dominican Republic 77-79 in overtime, Oliogu put up an impressive stat line of ten points, two rebounds and five assists 🇨🇦

Both Team USA and Team Canada will continue their tournaments on Tuesday with Canada slated to play Puerto Rico at 11:40 AM and the USA scheduled to face Belize at 4:40 PM. Both games will be live streamed on YouTube 📱
