North Carolina women’s basketball commit Lanie Grant continues to shine for the USA Basketball U16 team, dropping 20 points in a 112-48 win over Argentina.
Grant and the U16 team have shown complete dominance on their path to the championship, winning 23 consecutive games as they hope to win their fourth straight gold medal. Grant has been extraordinary, with her scoring fully displayed in the blowout win over Argentina.
The 5-foot-9 five-star recruit from the 2025 class finished with 20 points, shooting six for nine from the field. This comes a game after where Grant delivered six assists in the 106-34 win over the Dominican Republic.
What a showcase from Team USA to make it to the U16 Finals!

From James River high school out of Midlothian, Virginia, Grant is the ideal point guard for UNC and has shown her ability to pass and score throughout her journey with the US16 team. Courtney Banghart and staff must love what they see from the future Tar Heel.
