While we were sitting around drinking beer and eating hot dogs, Team USA beat Italy to begin the World University Games Sunday morning in Gwangju, South Korea.
In case you are wondering, the World University Games are an international competition for college athletes who still have at least one year of athletic eligibility. The WUG are held every other year. The U.S. has participated in women's basketball 17 times and has medaled every time (nine of them gold).
USF's Courtney Williams and Alisia Jenkins both tried out for the U.S. team, along with 49 other players.
