Joe McKeown, Karly Roser fight for Gold at World University Games

Northwestern head women's basketball coach Joe McKeown and former Northwestern women's basketball guard Karly Roser have been in Gwangju, South Korea for the past couple weeks competing in the 2015 World University Games. On Monday (6 p.m. local time, 4 a.m. CT), they'll both be going for gold medals in the tournament's final.

Here's the catch though: Only one can win. They're competing against each other.

McKeown, head coach of the U.S. team, will be trying to find a way to shut down his former player.

McKeown was named coach of the USA team back in April, and has led the Americans to a 5-0 record at the tournament and a berth in the final.
