All athletes were getting that trinket. One fell and broke while being handed to the USA team.

Didn't see much of the game, but I watched a few minutes and saw one offensive possession where JFB got 3 offensive boards and kicked them out to open guys until Lowry finally hit a 3.  JFB!

That article from 2012 is interesting but it seems to leave out Wade's gold in 2008.
I remember in 1976 when Butch Lee and Puerto Rico almost beat the US.
Congrats to Jimmy of course!

It's great to have MU alumni competing with the world's best. I would think that having Butler and Wade in Chicago has to help with recruiting Illinois, as well.

I have no idea if their NBA commitments would allow but to have Jimmy and Dwyane drive up for Madness with their medals would be fantastic.

Edit: I just looked it up.  In theory it's possible.  They play at Indiana on Thursday and home against Indiana on Saturday night in preseason action where both will get minimal minutes.
