8/2/2019 11:33:00 AM | Men's Basketball
LIMA, Peru – Team USA won its second game at the Pan American Games with a 70-53 win over Venezuela on Thursday, August 1 at Dibos Coliseum in Lima, Peru. Myles Powell (Seton Hall) scored a game-high 30 points and Friars Alpha Diallo and David Duke contributed 11 points and six points, respectively.
With a 2-0 mark record in Pool A, Team USA has already clinched a spot in the medal round before playing Puerto Rico on Friday in its final game of Pool play. Puerto Rico is also 2-0. The game will be telecast on ESPNU at 10 p.m. ET.
"I've been saying that we get better every day," said head coach Ed Cooley (Providence). "We matched their physicality. Our defense really won the game for us. We showed a lot of maturity. It was one of the most physical games I've ever been involved in as a coach."
Diallo also added a team-high five steals. He also had five rebounds in 34 minutes of action. Duke played 12 minutes and had six points while shooting 2-3 from the field.
"We were able to limit them to one shot," said Diallo. "We played as a team and maintained the same amount of physicality."
The BIG EAST Conference is representing USA Basketball at the Pan American Games. Providence's Ed Cooley is the team's head coach. Kevin Willard of Seton Hall and Mike Martin of Brown are the assistant coaches.
The Pan American Games is a multi-sport event featuring teams from North, South and Central American and the Caribbean, which is organized by the Pan American Sports Organization (PASO) and played every four years in the year preceding the Olympics (2019, 2023, etc.).
