Thompson, U.S. win gold


COUGARS

A quick Sunday morning post before we head out to breakfast. The U.S., with Washington State's Klay Thompson starting again and scoring 10 points and grabbing four rebounds, won the gold in the U19 World Championships thanks to a 88-80 win over Greece. Australia, with Brock Motum also scoring 10 points, finished fourth. Motum shot almost 61 percent from the floor in the tournament and led the Aussies with a 13.6 scoring average.
