Just came across the following picture of recent GU basketball grads Courtland Freeman and Omari Faulkner. The photo was taken at a ceremony honoring them (as well as others) for serving as cultural ambassadors for the State Department.

Unfortunately there's a damn Yankee in the picture, but I digress

After reading that Commercial Appeal article, I'm much more impressed with Omari Faulkner than I would have been had he played more minutes.

Good for Omari, and it sounds like he's had an incredible experience.

"The ball should move, bodies should move. You talk about being an undisciplined, unselfish group. That's what you do. If the ball's sticking, great defensive teams are going to load up. If you don't move the ball and [be] unselfish, it's gonna be long nights, so you better learn to move the ball, share, and play with a sense of urgency on every possession. Our teams will always be unselfish, our teams will always be physical, and our teams will always do our best to defend."
