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.

MVPs
3 votes- Viggiano (23 pts on 8-15 FG, 3 3s, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal)
2 votes- Eric (17 pts on 7-10 FG, 8 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 steals)
1 vote- Azzi( 11pts on 4-6 FG, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal)

Next up, Spain! Game shape, game shape, game shape.

2 weeks, 2 losses. Last night we were 1 score off the lead until the final minute. I can help but hate the foul inside the last minute strategy. Anyway, some great opposition has handed us defeats, and this week we face the might of Italy.

The game was in the balance with a final shot to germany in the dying seconds, but defense was the key to our victory, with Snyder coming up with a stop followed by a rebound that handed us the win.

What is with GS this season? I gave my boys practically the same minutes and AA drops to strong from proficient but BT stays at proficient... something smells fishy

Our loss to France came as no surprise, but unfortunately it officially ruled us out of a semi final. We had some different players shine too which is good to see, including 20yr old Farina. Next seasons team will be dynamite!

MVPs
3 votes- Farina (27pts, 5 boards, 1 ass).
2 votes- Eric- 12pts, 7 ass, 2 boards).
1 vote- Azzi (14 boards. 8 pts, 3 ass)

With 2 tough games left, itd be great to take a win or even 2 with some good game shape. Watching the 3 20yr olds develop is also exciting, they will start next season with some exceptional skill levels.

Nice work whitewind. We kinda got robbed last season but we've had a good run in the worlds with a weaker roster. Are you gonna take us to the promise land again next season?

Undecided. I've had it for a while now, could be a good time to pass it on.
