Lordy lordy, did we almost blow the game against India today! We had a 14 point lead after 1 quarter, but gave it all away by the 3rd quarter. Then India had a 10 point lead with 3 minutes to go in the 3rd. They still had the lead with 7 minutes left in the game, but Stevens and Bedenham tore it up to give us a nice cushion. We were up 115-107 with 20 seconds to go but India had back to back 3's to cut the lead to 115-113. Thank God for Rob Quinton's free throw shooting, as he made both to give us a 4 point lead, and we needed every point as India hit another 3 at the buzzer! Final score 117-116. We actually won a close game for once! Here's the boxscore:
(11253)MVP's were Stevens and Bedenham. Stevens scored 26 points on 12-20 shooting, while Bedenham had 20 points and 21 rebounds on 9-13 shooting, and he even went 2-3 from 3!
We're now 1-1 and in 4th place with Hanguk (Korea) next. Keep up the training!
