The duo is the only set of teammates on the roster and continues a string of Purdue players that will play in the U19 World Cup. In each of the last four events, Purdue has had a representative. In 2015, Caleb Swanigan won gold, Carsen Edwards won bronze in 2017 and Trevion Williams won gold in 2019.
All games will be streamed on the FIBA YouTube page.

Ivey was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman team a year ago and has been mentioned as a preseason All-American for the 2021-22 season. He averaged 11.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, but over the last six contests averaged 18.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game while shooting 37-of-79 (.468) from the field in that span. He scored 26 points against North Texas, the second-most ever by a Big Ten freshman in an NCAA Tournament debut.
Furst, a 6-foot, 10-inch freshman from Fort Wayne, Indiana, was named Indiana's Mr. Basketball and a MaxPreps Honorable Mention All-American after a standout career at Blackhawk Christian. Furst led Blackhawk to the 2021 and 2019 Indiana State Championships, scoring 2,087 career points while becoming the school's all-time leading scorer and rebounder. He averaged 21.4 points, 14.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.2 blocked shots as a senior.
The team will be coached by TCU's Jamie Dixon and assisted by Stanford head coach Jerod Haase and Yale head coach James Jones.
