Summer of Deon is Bronze

Not as good as the last one which was silver.  Team USA finished up the World University Games by defeating Israel 90-81. Thompson had seven points and six rebounds in the win.  Through ten games in his stint with Team USA, Thompson averaged 9.6 ppg and 5.9 rpg.  Obviously we have long concluded that Thompson’s [...]

Summer of Deon! Update[7/6]

Team USA celebrated the Fourth of July by dismantling South Korea 113-76 to move to 2-0 in University Games play. Seven Americans were in double digits and it sounds as though they all had a rollicking good time.

Summer of Deon! Update[7/3]

Team USA beats dismantles Finland in so many ways I could not begin to list them all.

Deon Thompson: 8 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks in 20 mins.

Next up: South Korea.

Summer of Deon! Update[6/30]

I was going to say that Deon Thompson is still fighting the Cold War but I think he missed most of it.

Team USA won a typical Bo Ryan coached basketball game 67-63 versus Russia.  Only two Americans were in double figures. Corey Fisher had 15 and Deon Thompson had 12 points to go along [...]
