Valiant effort from the youngsters, as the deficit was still just 3 with four minutes left, but we couldn't score much late and we faded towards a nine point loss, 86-77.
(40638)Surprisingly, the game came down mostly to free throws. We were just 2 for 8 while they were 11 for 21, and at least three times when they missed, they got the offensive rebound and layup. Very very very very infuriating.
But, we will accept this outcome and the pretty good +- in defeat going forward in the group.
McEntee playing C in patient of course the star here, going for 39 points on 17/46 shooting (5/12 from 3). I wished he put up more bombs instead of trying to drive on their C, but can't control such things! He was streaky with both hot and cold stretches during the game.
Next up is Estonia and a must win game.
