Good news guys! We managed to turn it back on in 2nd half and won comfortab;y 90-71. I hope that was our worst game in the tournament because our offense was abysmal. So many missed bunnies and FT...... Luckily defense held up even though I predicted GDP wrong (reasons for that in the offsite, but basically I thought the only risk of losing will be if they play inside, we dont, and they get perfect GDP so wanted our asses to be covered in that case).
What I am really dissapointed with is that only morwood stopped by (and unfortunately it was at a moment when I had to go get some files so couldnt reply to him and he left). For comparison, Venezuela had 5 guys there having conversation. Big contrast and shows lack of activity.
Anyway, back to the game. Other matches played into our favor. Chile won after a late comeback and a 3OT thriller. If you think that one OT inflates the stat go check the boxscore and see what3OT does to NT........scary stuff.
In other group USA won vs Colombia 86-80 but I dont think they would have won without GDP. It just shows how strong Colombia is at home. Kind of wish one of those teams was in our group so we could avoid them in semis but it looks like we will have to beat them both on our way to championship (we are not going to be favorites in either game).
