Good on him. One bright spot in a dismal period of msu basketball.

Drunk darts put that roster together.

Meeks?...I thought he retired a few years ago.
Pargo?...loved seeing him as a Zag, but I figured he was in some distant land as he has been around the world three times at least.
Zimmermann the best they could get at the 5?

You have a long time NBA vet who stopped playing a handful of years ago, a consensus POY in NCAA with Mason who is a pg, an underwhelming 5, an aging pg in Pargo, a journeyman pg in Cole, a journeyman sf/sg in Cole, and then Sword too.
Then Woj as an assistant too.
I wonder how much run Sword will see. Hope it's a lot.

That group has probably 6 or 7 nba championships combined.

The Americup roster is usually a hodgepodge of total randomness.

What the 17 is an Americup?

Its a basketball tournament that’s held I think every 4 years between countries from North and South America.

Yep. Used to be known as the FIBA Americas Tournament.

The Dream Team had to compete in the '92 tournament to qualify for the Barcelona Olympics.

Imagine if Jodie Meeks came back to Kentucky for another year to play for Cal with Wall and Cousins

Sword scorwe a team high 19. Funky game- halfway thru it was delayed a couple days due to leaking in the arena.
