Kansas freshman Quentin Grimes had 17 points and was named tournament MVP, helping USA Basketball's under-18 men's national team defeat Canada 113-74 on Saturday night to win the gold medal at the FIBA Americas U18 Championships in St. Catharines, Canada.
Team USA, which finished with a perfect 6-0 record in the tournament, was coached by KU's Bill Self.
"I think we played pretty well all six games, to be honest," Self said during a postgame interview on FIBA's online broadcast of the game. "And we got better as the week went on."
Grimes, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard who will report to KU's campus in the coming weeks, had 14 points, five assists and four rebounds in the first half as Team USA built a 61-33 lead.
