Saw "Shmelvin" yesterday on his way into Hinkle. Also heard that the gold medal duo would be having some sort of interviews/news conference later in the week for local media.

Whew! Glad they are back by now. How are they spending their week of rest, do they sit on the Butler bench and shout out pointers to open gym players?

I can imagine if anyone walks over to give issue, they just reach inside their jacket and dangle that gold medal around these necks...

Seriously, I wish them well on their week of rest and look forward to seeing any more interviews with...

Glad our guys, and the entire team, were out of New Zealand by the time the earthquake struck in the general area yesterday. There seemed to be some concern that a tsunami might occur afterward but to my knowledge it didn't happen.

I like Katz, but you are right. So I hope this is one of his horses and he keeps throwing down on it. I like Parrish and Goodman more, but positive words from Katz can't hurt.

Katz usually forms an opinion early in a given season, then he proceeds to beat that horse to death. If the horse he's beating is "Butler will be extremely difficult to beat next season", then keep on beating that horse!

"The consensus among the three coaches was that Butler will be extremely difficult to beat next season. That became apparent with the play of Gordon Hayward (10 ppg, 41.4 percent on 3s) and Shelvin Mack (5.9 ppg, 9 of 10 at the free-throw line), who remained consistent throughout the tournament. "

Nice Katz article.

I heard that Greece played a box and one on Hayward. If so, that would explain both why he only took 2 shots and also why he still played so many minutes (as it opened things up for everyone else).

can anyone confirm if this was the case? If so, it says a lot about the respect given to Gordon.

Congrats on the Gold USA, Shelvin and Gordon. 0 points in the Gold Metal game probably didn't help Gordon's case for MVP. Great balanced scoring and playing from Team USA. How did the team with Hummell do?

Hayward made the all-tournament team, what a great honor! Not sure how they decided to give the MVP to Delas, he was their best player, but I guess I'm just used to them giving it to the best player on the winning team.

Safe travels boys, and get lots of rest!

Gordon Hayward made the all star 5. However, somehow Mario Delas made the MVP. How does a player from the 3rd place team get MVP??? Crap. Should have been Taylor or Hayward.

Here is the Team USA practice & game schedule.

Here is a printable schedule of games to be played in New Zealand.

See who Team USA plays in their first game? Interesting to wonder how the current political situation will be handled by both parties...
