The quartet of Obi Agbim (23), Cameron Carr (21), Isaac Williams IV (19) and Dan Skillings Jr. (18) once again led the way, making up for 79-percent of the scoring in Team USA'a triple-point performance.  
 
The Wyoming-transfer of Agbim went hot from behind the arc, making 7-of-11 threes. Williams, a transfer from TAMU Corpus-Christi, shot 9-for-11 from the field, going nearly perfect and not missing a basket until the final minutes of the game.
 
As a team, USA has never let its opponent lead through its four games. Team USA is averaging an impressive 95.5 points per game while holding its opponents to an average of 69.3. Additionally, USA is shooting 53-percent from the field while stiffing its opponents under 50-percent at 42.
