U21 Press Release
Cubs beat Argentina, 101-91
The Pilipinas Cubs could not convert from behind the arc, but managed to secure the win against Argentina, 101-91, at the Eden Arena, in downtown Prague.
Rhyan Mislos led the Pilipinas charge, finishing the game with 22 points, including 10-12 from the free throw line. “At first, I thought this game would be close. Good thing we were able to jump out of the gate with a 9 point lead at the end of the first quarter,” coach Jeorge said during the post-game conference.
The Cubs left everything on the court to secure the win. “While I am happy to get out first win, it does not help that we have to face top seeded Italy in our next game,” coach Jeorge said, when asked to comment on the team strategy next week.
Cooking clubs and social media influencers are trying to throw off the Italians, in preparation for their game against the Cubs. Several TikTok videos were sent to the Italian contingent, showing diced pineapples being used as garnish in pizza, and placing ice in prepared espresso drinks.
