GoFrogs: Bane Invited to USA U19 Training Camp
FORT WORTH, Texas – Sophomore guard Desmond Bane has accepted an invitation to attend the USA U19 World Cup Team training camp June 18-25 in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Bane will be one of 25 athletes at the United States Olympic Training Center and one of 13 who competed as a freshman last season. Athletes eligible for the team must be 19 years old or younger and a U.S. citizen.
Last season, the Richmond, Ind., native played in all 39 games, while starting in 13, and helped the Horned Frogs to a 24-15 record and an NIT championship. Bane averaged 7.1 points and 2.9 rebounds per game and led the team in 3-point percentage at .380 (30-for-79).
TCU was 10-1 in games when he scored at least 10 points and proved to be clutch in close situations. Bane sank all three free throws with two seconds remaining to lead TCU to an 85-82 win over No. 1 Kansas in the quarterfinals of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship, the Frogs’ first win over a top-ranked team. Bane stepped up again in the second round of the NIT when he went 4-for-4 from the free throw line in the final 24 seconds of TCU’s 94-92 win at Iowa.
University of Kentucky head coach John Calipari will lead the USA U19 World Cup Team with the assistance of Tad Boyle from the University of Colorado and Danny Manning from Wake Forest University. Additionally, Sean Hanrahan of Warner University, Dan Muller of Illinois State University, King Rice of Monmouth University and Jeremy Shulman from Eastern Florida State College will serve as court coaches during the training camp.
The 2017 USA Men’s U19 World Cup Team training camp is set to get underway at 6 p.m. on June 18. Following two practice sessions on June 19, 10:30 a.m.-1 p.m. and 5:30-8 p.m., and a morning session on June 20, finalists for the USA U19 team are expected to be announced. The selected finalists will remain in Colorado Springs and will train twice a day through June 25. The 12-member team is expected to be announced June 22.
As the 2013 and 2015 FIBA U19 World Champion, the United States will look for a third-consecutive gold medal at the July 1-9 event in Cairo, Egypt.
