Aussies off to a good start in World Cup(35900)It is excitement time for the Aussie u21 as we embark on our 3rd consecutive u21 World Cup. Morocco came into the tournament with the weakest salary team. It showed on the court last night as Australia took a 57 point victory, highlighted by a 45pt 2nd quarter en route to a 141pt final score.
The shooting was very well distributed, with 8 players into double figures, but no player going really big. With the shooting percentage over 60%, Australia almost doubling the rebound total, and a whopping 35 assists to just 15, there was some stat stuffing going on, and a real difficult task to pick 3 MVPs.
