Eesti U21 put more into this game than Australia U21.
WHY IWEN WHY
Not much of a problem for me with this.
We had the home court and if we had of CTd (or what ever the equivalent is in National games) we probably wouldnt have won the next game, where as by banking the enthusiam we might have been a real chance to make the final 8 if we just could of snuck through
Sometimes you gotta roll the dice and it was only a 3 pointer with not much more than 10 seconds left that took the game into extra time
Vey unusual for both teams to play 2 3 zones.
Without knowing what Boromeos stamina or outside defence is its difficult to be critical but on appearances it might have been better to start him over Rylance who was sufferring poor gameshape and from memory has pretty ordinary stamina.
(2 assists from rylance v his opponents 12 doesnt look good, nor does 8 from 19 shots v his opponents 12 from 19)
I have no problem with Williams not playing as high ID was needed, not whinging and I dont know the full story but Ryder might have out performed Marchini as a back up SF.
A bit strange that we out performed Eesti in 5 of the 6 areas but got smashed in offensive flow.
Also had more points per hundred shots in 4 of the 5 positions and was only marginally behind at the SG position.
That all said I was really impressed how the team performed in the final 3 lead up games, when on paper we werent that great v our opponents in those games.
Hope Williams can continue to improve and can help lead season 24s under 21s onto even greater glories
