The next team we play twice is BC Silute which plays in a 2nd tier Lithuanian league. Their team consists of locals ranging in age from 17-29 that don't slot into higher level and typically a few Americans who excelled playing Div II or NAIA ball. I think their season is over so I'm not sure how in flux their roster is. I suspect this will be the best team we play. It also looks like they play Illinois Wesleyan, Houston, Illinois State, Miami and BYU over the next couple of weeks.

3 Nebraskans currently on the court (Pike, Easley, Porter). Likely would have been 4 if Arop had made the trip. Walker didn't play today, don't know why.

70s counterpoint meme

France blew it and lost 69-64. Yvan played 3 more uneventful minutes. They are out of the tourney.

Yvan picked up a cheap foul and then another foul in a span of :58 seconds and that's his first half. France is handling Turkey 39-27 at the half.

I suppose that depends on what you're expecting. If you're expecting him to come in and be a threat to be a double/double that seems doubtful this year and maybe ever. To me he's playing a similar role on that French team that he would here where he's an afterthought on offense but does have some posts moves and isn't afraid to shoot. What I would worry about is the defensive end. He's no threat to block a shot. Perhaps that will be mitigated by Doc's defense of packing the lane but he's not really stopping anyone who gets into the paint. Is he a poor rebounder or is he deferring to the better rebounders on this French team? Seems more like the former as he doesn't win a lot of one-on-one battles. He has a big body, seems to have a good basketball IQ, seems to play hard, and still super young. If we're lucky he's an under the rim Leslee Smith without the injuries. To me he seems like our backup center who plays 10-15 minutes a game and hopefully he grows skills-wise to make up for his lack of explosiveness. I think if he had been practicing with the rest of the team in front of Rothstein that Jon wouldn't have listed him as a starter though I could be very wrong about all of this.

France pulls it out and because they're French they score on a breakaway dunk to run up the score at the end. 62-53 They play Turkey tomorrow at 8:45 Draogo Q1 6:04 to 4:21 Q2 6:33 to 3:55 Q3 1:08 to Q4 0:15 0 pts on 0-1 shooting, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 fouls

Good to see someone else is along for this hard to watch ride. Draogo sets a liberté moving screen that every B1G ref could feel to free up a teammate. France up 3 with :33 to go.

Draogo finally back in with 1 minute left in the 3rd. Croatia hits a big 3 at the end up the quarter in this brickfest. They're up 41-38.

Draogo struggling and so is France. Big D got pulled after 3 minutes on the court after hedging on a guy up top and his man beating him with an open look from 3 (It was the 2nd time in a row a guy had scored on him) In the 2nd quarter he came in and picked up a few cheap fouls and got autobenched. He has 4:20 minutes of play with a rebound and 2 fouls. France has been doing their typical pressure defense thing and Croatia has been burning them enough. 28-26 Croatia at the half. France probably figures this out at some point. 2nd half starting soon.
