PurdUeSA just did not have it today. Lithuania used a combination of excellent offensive rebounding and timely shooting to pull away from PurdUeSA in the gold medal game of the World University Games in Taipei. Purdue really missed Caleb Swanigan, as it could not keep the Lithuanians off the offensive glass. Lithuania had 17 offensive rebounds, with 7 of them coming in the 4th quarter lading to a ton of second chance points.
Dontas Tarolis had 13 points and 12 rebounds, 9 of them coming on the offensive glass as the Lithuanians could not be kept off the glass.
