World Cup...

In Dailey’s 18 minutes played, he shot 5-9 and grabbed five rebounds to go along with two steals and an assist. Although it won’t show up on the stat sheet, Dailey had a play that OSU fans will be used to seeing from their defensive, hustle-style teams.

The Cowboy signee totaled 11 points, highlighted by a clutch tip-in with 53 seconds remaining to give the USA a four-point lead with less than a minute remaining.

After a missed Slovenia free throw that would’ve cut the USA lead to two points, the ball was heading out of bounds after there was a fight for the rebound down low. Nobody, including Dailey, knew who was going to have possession. So he had to make sure it was certain. Dailey dove for the loose ball and threw it off a Slovenian player to obtain possession with less than 30 seconds remaining. From there, after another defensive stop and a made free throw from USA, the comeback was complete, and Dailey was undoubtedly the catalyst en route to the win.

The USA squad plays its final pool play game Tuesday at 8 a.m. CST against Lebanon and can be found at youtube.com/FIBA. Safe to say, Dailey is showing out in red, white and blue, and Cowboy fans can’t wait to see their high-ranked recruit in orange and black.
