Boomers Tactics

I would not be surprised if Jordan marked their Australia and Angola games as must wins to progress to the final 16. This would have provided significant motivation to "pinch" the game.

The Boomers on the other hand marked it as a definate win which could explain why they did not get out of 3rd gear until the last quarter. Perhaps they were saving themselves for tonight's game and the rest of the tournament. They learnt a very important lesson tonight, take no opponent for granted.

Rebouding very average, little box out (the rims appear very 'bouncy' too) and help d non-existent. Too many times Boomer players watched the Jordanian players get to the basket without any effort to challenge the shot.

I thought one particular play clearly defined the contrast in each team's attitude to the game. One Jordan player was clearly never going to stop Maric from scoring but he did by hitting him with a hard foul under the basket and putting Maric to the line. He made him earn his points. The Jordanian team played the game like it was for the title of World Champions, the Boomers looked like they were going through the motions.

A better opponent will hopefully bring out a better Boomers performance.
