The USA rebounded from its stunning loss to Canada by beating Spain in the third-place game, 96-72. Purdue’s Carsen Edwards had 13 points in the win and Oregon’s Payton Pritchard scored 12. “To be able to bounce back and play the way they did from start to finish shows me a lot about them,” said USA head coach John Calipari of Kentucky. “We were all still really disappointed. We came here to not only play for the gold, but win the gold, and to play like we did and have Canada come out and play so well, it was just disappointing that we couldn’t get it done. To come back today and play and win the bronze, it’s a good way to end.”July 9, 2017. Remember the date.
