DEBRECEN, Hungary - Iowa State freshman Omaha Biliew and the USA Basketball U19 team opened pool play Saturday morning at the FIBA U19 World Cup with a 136-69 victory over Madagascar. The 136 points are the most points ever scored by a USA Basketball U19 team.
Earning a start, Biliew nearly missed a double-double with 10 points and eight rebounds. His eight boards were a game-high. Biliew was a perfect 4-for-4 from the field, including a pair of monster putback dunks. Biliew also added an assist and steal. Team USA was +36 with Biliew on the floor, the second-highest plus/minus total on the team.
Team USA returns to action Sunday afternoon, facing Slovenia at 1 p.m. (CT). Live video can be found on FIBA's YouTube page.
