France 151 Cymru 115
What a high scoring affair in this game!France's offense was absouletly deadly. They scored at least 30 points in every quarter and 43 in the 3rd! Cymru didn'y have much of a chance in this one, but their ratings were not that bad. Both teams used the same effort so they most likely TIE'd cause I don't think France would've wasted enthusiasm on Cymru. POTG: Thomas Saint had a game high 19.0 rating to go with 28 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds.
Makedonija 127 Andorra 117
This was a bit of a shocking result. The fact that Andorra held the lead heading into the fourth is very surprising. Ratings wise Makedonija should've dominated this one as Andorra had an inside scoring rating worse than my div 3 canadian team had in my last league game. POTG: Kristijan Ognjankovski had a 16.0 rating to go with 23 points, a game high 27 rebounds and went 9-9 from the charity stripe.
Ceska Rep. 100 Cyprus 116
Ceska Rep. were the unlucky recipients of a CT from Cyprus and TIE'd at the wrong time. Ratings wise Ceska Rep. should've win, but thats what happens in a CT vs TIE game. If Ceska Rep. would've taken advantage of all their fre throws this could've been a very different outcome, they shot 21-40 from the free throw line and it hurt. POTG: Nikolas Gkavoyiannos wins it this time with a 12.5 rating, a game high 27 points and a game high 8 assists.
Deutschland 113 Slovenija 98
While this game was close the better team won. Every quarter was a 1 or 2 point quarter win for Deutschland except for the 11 point differentil in the 2nd quarter and that may have made the difference. Slovenija's 17 TO's allowed Deutschland to shoot 18 more times. POTG: Waldemar Hielscher-Uhl had a 16.5 rating, a team high 23 points and 8 rebounds.
Predictions:
Andorra(66) at France(3)
France had a GS update that will alow them to attack from anywhere. Andorra will most likely have to attack from the outside, not like it matters France will dominate this one. My pick: France.
Cyprus(54) at Makedonija(37)
Cyprus coming off a CT upset and Makedonija coming off a near upset. I think Cyprus would've been able to win this game if they had not CT'd last week. Both teams had fairly good GS updates, but do have some GS issues here and there. My pick: Makedonija
Cymru(81) at Deutschland(20)
Cymru had a good GS update other than an inept and a mediocre, but it is not going to matter in this game. Deutscland should win handily. My pick: Deutschland.
Slovenija(53) at Ceska Rep.(26)
Slovenija has lost two in a row, but thats against the two teams they shouldn't beat. Ceska Rep. coming off a stunning loss at the hands of Cyprus, they TIE'd however and should have a bit of enthusiasm built up. I think Ceska Rep. will attack from the outside while Slovenija should probably go with an inside attack. My pick: Slovenija will get on track and win this one, close game though.
