Ohio State basketball players Zed Key and Meechie Johnson were both cut (subscription may be required) from the Team USA U19 basketball squad on Monday.
Both players were among 26 players invited to training camp competing for only 12 roster spots for the U19 World Cup set to be held in Latvia from July 3 through 11. Key and Johnson were a part of nine players involved in the cuts Monday, leaving 17 still on the campus of TCU trying to make it through.
The duo are both entering their second seasons at Ohio State, and despite being cut from the team, the experience was no doubt a valuable one to go through against top-level competition. Both showed moments and highlights that were shared on social media.

Though disappointing, both players will now turn their focus on getting ready for what lies ahead with the OSU basketball team this next season.
