For Deon Thompson the Worl University Games are over, but I am sure that once he is back in Chapel Hill there will be plenty of basketball left for him to play this summer. With a victory over Israel Team USA got the bronze, however I would have to believe they wanted the gold

The US lost a double digit lead in the fourth quarter, got outscored 20 to 9 and lost the game against arcrival Russia. Not the best of days for USA Basketball

A so-so performance from Thompson as Team USA comes away with a two point win. Now, the undefeated US team will be heading to the Medal Round

Deon Thompson leads Team USA past Greece with 17 points. I have to say, the more I read about the young man the more I believe that being on this team is going to have long lasting positive effects on him

Another blow out for Team USA and another good performance by Deon Thompson. As the tournament moves into the 2nd round I am more and more confident that the power forward from Chapel Hill is going to be a much better player next season because of this experience

In a game that was over before it began, Team USA took care of Finland by 47 points

A very good game by Deon Thompson as Team USA beat Russia 67 to 63. Averaging close to 10 points and 6 rebounds per game the senior from Chapel Hill is getting his time on the court and giving his all

Team USA is one and one going into the last game of the round robins Serbia International. Will they rebound in their last game or is it back to the drawing board for coach Bo Ryan and his staff

It’s going to be an exciting month for the forward from Chapel Hill as he travels to Serbia to compete in the 2009 Men’s World University Games, taking place from July 2-11. For the young man from Torrance (CA) this is the second experience on a USA Basketball team, making him the “veteran” of this squad

Thompson is hoping to make this year’s USA Basketball Men’s World University Games, which will compet in Serbia this July
