Issac Likekele still finds himself in awe of his special new piece of jewelry.
At 19, still yet to start his sophomore year at Oklahoma State and carrying the usual stresses of a college student, Likekele now owns a gold medal won representing his country on the international stage.
The Cowboys’ rising sophomore played a significant role in Team USA’s Fiba U19 World Cup victory in Greece, averaging
8.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game throughout the tournament.
“It still kind of hasn’t really just hit me yet, like, I’m a gold medalist” Likekele said.
