Team USA will look to remain perfect in the First Round Group stage with a win over Jordan.
The United States has gotten out to a 2-0 start at the 2023 FIBA World Cup after defeating New Zealand by 27 points and Greece by 28 points.
Team USA has already qualified for the Second Round Group Stage where Lithuania and Montenegro eagerly await their chances to get a shot at the No. 1 ranked team in the tournament, but this contest still plays a role in the United States’ future at the World Cup.
Since records carry over to the next Group Stage, it is important that Team USA takes care of business to advance to 3-0 before the tournament field is cut in half from 32 countries to 16.
