The 2011 USA Men’s World University Games Team (1-0) fought back from a first-quarter deficit and outscored Mexico (0-1) 65-30 in the second half to secure a 108-67 win in its opening game of the 2011 World University Games on Aug. 13 at the Universiade Main Gym in Shenzhen, China. “For the first game, I thought we had some jitters,” said USA and Purdue University head mentor Matt Painter. “We had guys who just weren’t quick to the basketball. Mexico played a little bit harder than we did. ”
