    USA (UNI) vs. Turkey

    A look at Turkey:

    Sinan Guler

    - 6'4" Guard---played college ball at Salt Lake Community College and Carroll College (NAIA), but I didn't see anything where he played this past year, after playing in 2005-06. He plays for BESIKTAS COLATURKA ISTANBUL which is in the top league in Turkey. His teammate? Jacob Jaacks.

    Ismail Esmeray

    - ---played for FMV ISIKSPOR ISTANBUL of the 2nd division league in Turkey.

    Caner Senturk

    -6'5" Guard---played last year with DARUSSAFAKA ISTANBUL in the top division of the Turkey pro leagues.

    Serhat Getin---averages around double figures.

    Ali Kavalioglu---no info

    Cihat Sahin

    -6'8" Forward---plays for BEYKOZSPOR of the top division in Turkey.

    Murat Rifat Kaya

    -6'5" Forward---Played for GALATASARAY CAFECROWN ISTANBUL in the top league in Turkey. His point guard is William Avery (former Duke PG).

    Cey Coskun---had a double double last game

    Things to know...
    Team USA has the 2nd best 3 point field goal percentage in the World U Games at 38%. Turkey has 31%.

    Turkey is 2nd in the WUG in 2pt FG % at 67%. UNI has the 12th best.

    Rebounds:
    Turkey: 75
    USA: 71

    Turkey is 3rd in overal turnovers (they turn it over alot). USA has the 3rd fewest.

    Turkey has the 6th most steals, while USA is tied for the fewest.

    Turkey is 1st in blocked shots...averaging 8 per game.
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

    So we have 6'4" and 6'5" gaurds to defend with Josten and Brooks. Are we to believe that all of these pros from Turkey and Lith are actually university students? Go get 'em Panthers. But these next two games should be serious battles.

      sounds like its going to take some preparation ... hopefully the team was able to see Turkey play in person or at least on tape to know more about what to expect ... definitely can't fall behind early in this game

        Is there a website that a person can check out for details on the tournament and maybe tournament Standings?

        Also, any news on the possible sale of Team USA Jerseys ANYWHERE?

          I'd say the ball was dropped on that one long ago.

            The USA jerseys would have been pretty plain anyway. They can't use names on them because they are in college and none of them are wearing their real numbers anyway because of international rules. There would have been nothing that distinguished them as being 'UNI' jerseys or any other team that has played representing the USA...

            I don't think they would have been big sellers and I don't blame Nike or anybody else for not producing them. I think that we should instead focus on why you can't get a legitimate UNI football or basketball jersey anywhere...

              Adding to what PTTB had on Turkey. While they seem to be a little taller, they also don't seem to have good ball handling skills (52 Turnovers in 1st 2 games) and like to shoot from 3 point range, a lot. Through 2 games they have shot 63 3 pointers (compared with 67 inside the arc). Not a lot of penetration either with only 37 free throws shot through two games. The only players who haven't attempted a 3 are their two primary centers (#9 Coskun and #13 Esmeray) and their backup center (#14 Tunca). #12 Sahin is listed as a Center, but he seems to play quite a bit and at 6'8", probably plays like Stout. He's also 1-4 from 3 point range.

              This will be a tough game, but I don't think we will be overwhelmed by talent or size and I trust the coaching staff will have a gameplan ready that will give us the edge.

                  The Athletic Department tried to get USA merchandise, but apparently they have to purchase them directly from USA headquarters and the prices were unreasonable. They wouldn't cut UNI any deals and would have made them pay an inflated retail price.

                  I was told that they may print some more of the T-Shirts that were at the open practice on July 31st....but I haven't seen anything reported yet.

                          Might be playing a Bradley. Turkey's first 3 shots are from deep.

                          Looks like Jordan, Brooks, JJ, Dunham all started with maybe Koch?
