Cole Swider Shines for Team USA | Syracuse Basketball News

Cole Swider, former Syracuse standout, lit up Team USA’s FIBA World Cup qualifier against Chile with 19 points and 8 rebounds, helping secure an 18-point win in a race toward the 2027 tournament where 80 nations fight for 32 spots. With qualifiers split across regions—seven from Americas, seven from Asia/Oceania, five from Africa, and twelve from Europe—and host Qatar getting an automatic bid, Swider’s performance underscores how college stars keep making global impacts even as they chase NBA dreams or help rebuild programs like Syracuse, now revving up under new leadership for their NCAA Tournament drought-breaking push.
