Caitlin Clark and Team USA have dominated the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup so far and look to continue their run heading into the quarterfinals. The Americans improved to 3-0 at the World Cup, completing a sweep in group play with a 105-64 rout of Czechia in Berlin, Germany, on Sept. 7. The 41-point victory is the USA's 33rd consecutive World Cup win, a streak that dates to 2006. Jackie Young is Team USA's leading scorer, averaging 11.3 points per game, with Paige Bueckers and Breanna Stewart tied for second at 10.3 points per game. Clark leads Team USA in assists through group play with 6.3 per game while averaging 8.0 points. Here's when Team USA plays next. The USA plays the winner of Hungary vs. Japan in the quarterfinals on Thursday, Sept. 10 (TNT, truTV). A tipoff time has yet to be announced. Here's the full roster for Team USA. Duke women's basketball head coach Kara Lawson leads Team USA. She is assisted on the bench by WNBA head coaches Stephanie White, Natalie Nakase and Nate Tibbetts, while Dallas Wings head coach Jose Fernandez and Duke assistant Tia Jackson serve as scouts. Originally this roster also featured four-time WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson and five-time All-Star Kelsey Plum, but both were ruled out four days before the World Cup began due to what Team USA called "health reasons." Clark and the Indiana Fever, 26-14, return from the FIBA Women's World Cup break on Friday, Sept. 18, against the Toronto Tempo. USA TODAY reporter Cydney Henderson contributed to this report.
