U/17 Mens World Championship
Yep - they are doing well and we should all get behind them!
USA beat Egypt tonight 111-73.

Australia won 63-58.
Simmons was a beast, leading all scorers with 26 points on 12/15 shooting alongside 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 5 steals and 1 block.
Djeric 8 points, 9 assists and 2 steals.
Exum had 10 points but on 2/12 shooting and 6/9 from the line but an amazing 8 fouls drawn! Maybe the Cezech tried to bump him out of the game hence the shooting percentages?
A win is a win...In the first game of the day, China upset France who also lost to the Czechs in their first game...
We next play Egypt who have yet to win a game.


Simmons & Djeric leading the charge! Aussies back up 49-45 after trailing by 8 at one stage.

Australia trailing 29-34 at half time.

Australia smashed China 92-55 in their second WC game. A 30-10 opening quarter did most of the damage!
Exum led all scorers with 26 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.
Luxford had 13 points on 5/6 shooting.
Purchase had 10 points and 4 rebounds.
Simmons had 10 points and 7 rebounds.
We next play Czech Republic who got smashed by the USA 57-95 last night, but upset France in their first game.

We lost game 1 to USA 67-89 in the end but pushed them for quite some time. The 3rd quarter hur us badly - outscored 14-36...room for improvement, but need to win the remaining pool gamesnow to put ourselves in the best position.
Exum 17pts
Duncan 9pts, 13reb
Djeric 8 pts, 6 ass
Shooting 6/24 from 3PT line also didn't help much either...
beter rebound count this time around, 37-47 and we were virtually breakeven this time on the O boards 15-16.
