Australia's Emus advance to U19 World Cup quarter-final
Australia are two steps away from ending a decades-long medal drought at the FIBA Under-19 World Cup after advancing to the quarter-finals with a 106-96 win over the Dominican Republic. Jacob Furphy (24 points) led all scorers with five three-pointers, and Jack Whitbourn (12 points, 12 rebounds) posted a double-double for the Emus, who never trailed in their round-of-16 encounter on Thursday morning (AEST). Robbie McKinlay's team increased their lead to 21 points early in the third period at Lausanne Arena in Switzerland, but saw it trimmed to eight with more than four minutes left to play. The Emus held on, advancing to the last eight of the tournament for the first time since 2015. It matches the team's best achievement since an Andrew Bogut-led line-up claimed a historic gold medal under coach Rob Beveridge in 2003. The Emus next face Germany on Friday night (AEST), after the European heavyweights continued their strong tournament with a 92-83 win over Serbia. Four of Germany's starters scored in double figures, led by Hannes Steinbach, who starred with 23 points and 19 rebounds. Eight-time champions USA smashed a series of records on their way to a 140-67 rout of Jordan. USA set new all-time highs with 59 field goals made, 52 two-point field goals made and 31 steals. They also broke their own scoring record with 140 points - the second-highest total in U19 World Cup history - and their 41 assists and 37 forced turnovers were the second-highest tallies in competition history. Eight USA players scored in double figures, led by Tyran Stokes and Morez Johnson Jr (19 each). New Zealand booked a quarter-final spot for the first time with a 99-86 victory over China. The Kiwis will face tournament hosts Switzerland, who shocked France with an 86-79 upset. Switzerland, ranked No.60 in the world, went on an 18-0 run spanning the fourth period and overtime to take down their highly fancied rivals. Canada reached the last eight for the seventh consecutive tournament with a 100-75 win over Mali, but next take on the might of the USA.

Australia's Emus advance with statement win over France
Australia have made a statement in their bid to end a decades-long medal drought at the FIBA Under-19 World Cup with a dominant 71-63 win over France. Jacob Furphy and Roman Siulepa scored 19 points each for the Emus, who committed 20 turnovers but were in control on the boards in Switzerland. The lop-sided rebound count (51-31) included 18 offensive rebounds for Australia, with Siulepa (four) leading the charge. Big birds. Big victory. AUS 71 - 63 FRA📊 #WeAreBasketball | #GoEmus | @NextGenHoops — Basketball Australia (@BasketballAus) July 1, 2025 Robbie McKinlay's team led 19-15 at the end of the first period and extended the margin to 17 points early in the last on their way to a commanding victory. A second straight win meant the Emus (2-1) finished second in Group D - dubbed the "Group of Death'' on FIBA's website - behind tournament favourites USA. It followed a thrilling double-overtime victory over Cameroon (101-96) and a first-up loss to USA (88-73). The Emus next face a knockout clash with the Dominican Republic in the round of 16 on Thursday (3.30am AEST) as they chase a spot in the quarter-finals for the first time since 2015. Eight-time champions USA were one of three teams to finish the group stage undefeated after a blistering shooting display in their 129-70 thrashing of Cameroon. Mikel Brown and Caleb Holt each hit five of USA's 19 three-pointers, which equalled the previous mark set by China against Croatia in 2013. Germany and Israel were also unbeaten in the group stage, with the former now able to avoid meeting USA until the final. Australia are aiming to emulate the Andrew Bogut-led 2003 Emus outfit, which claimed Under-19 World Cup gold behind the future No.1 NBA draft pick's MVP performance. That team, coached by Rob Beveridge, remains the only one from outside North America and Europe to win the Under-19 World Cup since its inception in 1979. It is also the only Australian men's team to win gold at a global FIBA tournament.
