Red Rum reacted to hhcmatt in Keisei watch
12 basketball teams make it to the Olympics. I didn't realize the importance of this tournament in that regard until today.
7 teams from this tournament will make the Olympics based on their standings for their region.
(France is in automatically because they are the host and the other 4 teams will be chosen from a 40 team qualifying tournament in 2024)
The Americas and Europe get two entries.
Africa, Asia, and Oceanna get 1 entry each.
Thus while Japan is in the 'losers bracket' of this tournament, so are all the other countries in the Asia region. Their comeback win over Finland has put them into the driver's seat for qualifying for the Olymipics
Current standings for Asia
Japan - 2-2, -19 +/-
China - 1-3, -73 +/-
Lebanon 1-3, -90 +/-
Philippines 0-4, -42 +/-
Iran 0-4, -90 +/-
Jordan 0-4, -93 +/-
If I understand this correctly, all these teams play one more game and Japan clinches the spot with a win else with a loss they just need a better +/- than China or Lebanon. Seems like they've essentially clinched.
Get ready for 5x5 Olympic basketball Keisei next year.

Red Rum reacted to Jacob Padilla in Huskers in the Pros Thread
I caught up with Sam yesterday to discuss his busy offseason. He signed with the German team before Summer League began, but Boston offered him an Exhibit 10 contract, so he had a decision to make.

This stuff has always kinda drove me nuts. These guys have the rest of their careers to play with these teams. You’re at a place for a finite time that is paying for your education, and now, legally, also paying you to be there.
“Playing for your country is an honor!” Stop - you’re not fighting in a war or doing Red Cross outreach.

Red Rum reacted to Huskerpapa in Wilhelm Breidenbach gone
Nope. Not that it matters. I liked him because I viewed him as a tough mother. He seemed willing to do the dirty work that few appreciate. He had bad wheels that he worked to overcome. He had a good left hand around the basket and good hands. He was criticized for his clumsiness which is fair. He was criticized for his outside shot...but he apparently was greenlighted by someone.
I just think more highly of him than many of my brethren, and for that, I do not apologize.

i'll give them one thing, when Iowa fans are calling each other morons there's a strong likelihood that they are all correct.
