Dixon’s U.S. team beats Iran
NORTH SHORE, New Zealand – The United States used a balanced effort to beat Iran 106-55 in the opening game of the U19 World Championship.
The U.S. team, which is coached by Pitt’s Jamie Dixon, had seven players score in double figures. Kansas’ Tyshawn Taylor led the way with 13 points and Duke’s Seth Curry added 12.
Pitt’s Ashton Gibbs played 20 minutes off the bench, finishing with 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting and hitting both of his
3-point attempts. He also dished out four assists, finished with two steals and grabbed two rebounds.
“One thing we did pretty well was shoot the ball, and we made some extra passes, made good decisions. We need to cut down on some turnovers, but I think it was a good start,” Dixon said. “We know we’ve got to get better as this tournament continues so this is the first one and hopefully we’ve got something to build on.”
