The USA/Texas team at the Global Games had a disappointing 2 point loss to Puerto Rico. Our boy Pat Simpson (incoming freshman from CO for those of you that have been living under a rock) didn't get alot of PT. He went 1-2 from the floor and (keeping with SMU style) 0-2 from the charity stripe. I'll still have hope. He is young. This is going to be a good learing experience for him.


PS - The Global Games is an international tournament in Moody Coliseum. The teams this year are from Puerto Rico, Senegal, Yugoslavia, Germany, Lithuania, USA/Texas, and the USA national team.

Yugoslavia has a really tall team and they pass the ball around to get the easy shot.

Beat Puerto Rico by 20 and Germany by 18 in the last two days.

Could be the class of the tourny.

Never knew the Serb's were so gifted!!!!!

Rambo is cool.

Thanks dude.

Global Games cont.

Pat got very little PT today. He played 2 minutes, no shot attempts, 2 boards. USA/TX lost by 4. Very poor and rushed shot selection. Will Bynam was a little out of control. Keith Langford (my hometown boy) was good.

The USA Nat'l team however waxed Lithuania. 113-64. Carlos Boozer kills. Very impressive.

Someone else is gonna have to take my place tomorrow. I'm gonna be watching the Rangers of yore in funkytown.
