Riga, Latvia wasn't Beijing, but for Florida's point guard, it did just fine. Nikos Calathis enters fall term with one passport and summer of memories to the good. And through it all, he didn't do half bad. In 130 minutes (21.7 mpg), he scored 67 points (11.2 ppg), grabbed 21 boards (3.5 rpg), ......
