Anderson helps U.S. to big win at University Games
Oklahoma State junior forward James Anderson scored seven points Friday to help the United States to a convincing 87-40 win over Finland at the 2009 Men’s World University Games, held in Belgrade, Serbia.
The game was the first for the United States, who went 2-1 in exhibition games leading up to the tournament. Finland fell to 1-1.

2-for-3 from both the field and the free throw line.
Anderson also hit one of two key 3-pointers late in the first quarter that saw the U.S. take a 21-12 advantage.
The U.S. led 29-19 with just over three minutes remaining in the first half, but with four straight points from fellow Big 12 member Craig Brackins of Iowa State, the U.S. outscored Finland 10-0 for a 39-19 halftime lead. They inceased the margin to 50-23 early in the second half.
The U.S. then closed the door on Finland in the fourth quarter, holding them to just 1 of 15 shooting from the field and ended the game on a 21-0 run.
Brackins finished the game with 12 points and tied for team-high honors with Villanova’s Corey Fisher. Talor Battle of Penn State added 11 points while Purdue’s Robbie Hummel chipped in 10.
All 12 U.S. members scored in the game.
