Defeat today
(38274) to Italy 96-83. We hung with the world's #1 team for three quarters out of four, and we can take solace in that.
Going for an all out win here would have cost us enthusiasm, and I'm targeting third or fourth in the group not first. There are other games that are must win, and this wasn't one of them.
Game MVPs: Hall had by far his best game of the campaign with 33 pts (12/18, 3/4, 6/8), 10 reb, 4 ast, and Bashir followed with 18 pts (7/10, 0/1, 4/5, 6 reb, showing that the inside iso can work for our interior players.
Game LVPs: The rest of the roster shot a combined 10/54.
In the other games:
Magyarország (Hungary) took down the USA in overtime, using a patient and more effort.
Singapore over Senegal by one. Senegal going CRU vs TIE and almost pulling it out.
On this day Italy was just better than us, and we tip our caps. Next up is Magyarország.
