Texas Longhorns guard Jordan Lee wins gold with Team USA
Texas Longhorns women's basketball had a reason to celebrate on Sunday. Star guard Jordan Lee earned her second gold medal with USA Basketball when Team USA won gold in the 2025 FIBA Women's U19 World Cup. As Team USA cruised to an 88-76 win over Australia on Sunday, Lee played a key role. During the tournament, Lee played in all seven games. The Saint Mary's High School product was a human highlight as she made an impact on both ends of the court. In the World Cup game, Lee scored seven points while dishing out four assists. She also was a menace on the boards with ten rebounds. While Lee is celebrating another significant milestone, this is not unfamiliar territory. She won gold with Team USA during the 2024 FIBA Women's U18 AmeriCup in Colombia. The California native was also part of the 2024 USA Women's Nike Hoop Summit team that defeated the World Select squad. She was the best player on the court, leading all players with a +17 plus/minus in that game. With the 2025-2026 campaign just a few months away, Lee will again be an important piece for the Longhorns. She is coming off a strong freshman year, in which she earned All-SEC Freshman Team honors. Lee scored in double figures in ten games. However, her best play came during March Madness. In the final four, the Longhorns' star scored 16 points against South Carolina. While the Longhorns' run unfortunately came to an end against the Gamecocks, Lee was part of history. Last season marked the first time that Texas advanced to the Final Four in 22 years. With another year of experience, Lee should be an exciting player to watch when the regular season begins.
