The 2008 USA Basketball Men’s U18 National Team (4-0) earned its fourth victory in as many days with an 82-66 win against Canada (2-2) in a medal semifinal contest on Thursday night at the 2008 FIBA Americas U18 Championship in Formosa, Argentina.

Two U.S. players notched a double-double, including University of Alabama incoming freshman JaMychal Green, who scored 16 points and had 10 rebounds. Ryan Kelly had 12 points and 10 rebounds.

The USA will attempt to capture its fifth gold medal in six FIBA Americas U18 Championships tonight against undefeated Argentina (4-0), which earned its berth to the gold medal contest with an 83-68 victory over Puerto Rico.
