Game two in New Zealand didn't go as well for John Shurna as game one. He picked up three quick fouls and only played 8 minutes in the USA's 71-55 win over France. Shurna did have a blocked shot and a rebound in those 8 minutes.
Trinidad and Tobago also played today in their tournament, however, Kyle Rowley did not play in the 86-82 win over the Bahamas. While I wish Rowley were playing, I still thinking playing in this tournament is better for him than playing in a summer league with no coaches or drills.
Finally, I want again remind everyone of the fine documentary on former NU Head Coach Ricky Byrdsong produced by a team of Medill students. Coach Byrd might not have been as successful a basketball coach as he wanted while at NU, but he was a great person and on this 10th anniversary of his death, I think we should all take time to remember the positive ideals represented. Here is a link to the documentary: http://vimeo.com/5204860

I know the tourney that Rowley is in isn't U-19 like the one Team USA is in, but isn't anyone else worried that Rowley can't even get off the pine?
