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.Comment

Khan4cats, Turkey did go small and that forced Coach Jake to keep Jordan on the bench. At one point we had Koch at the 5 and Kerwin at the 4. Turkey appeared to take us lightly and paid the price. They were so upset with the loss that after the game the coaches and players refused to shake Team USA's hands. Not much class! Big game tomorrow to determine if we move onto the medal round or not. China appeared to pack it in early against Lithuania. They were getting beat so badly that they kept many of their better players out of the 2nd half. We'll see if that strategy works tomorrow.
If you would've had a live feed you would've seen one of the best dunks EC has ever had. Turkey played a 2-3 zone and we fed Koch at the elbow, bounce pass to Eric cutting baseline and he threw it down two hands right through one of the Turkey defenders.
Jared is back to form. He hit several key baskets when Turkey was on a run. They were so frustrated with stopping him that they ran a box and 1 on Jared for a few possessions.
This was our best performance of the WUG's by far. Turkey is a very good team.....not on par with Lithuania but still a veteran team of mostly 21-24 year olds. We'll need a similar performance tomorrow.Comment

Thanks for the birds eye view JagsNCats!
I thought Kerwin was getting alot of playing time at the same time with Brooks and Jared (and I thought Brown), just from watching the stats as they came in. Let's hope these guys carry it over to tomorrow morning!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.

I for one am just relieved that Big Jordan was sitting and not hurt. I still believe in what I said last year...put him in and let the other teams match up with him, not vice versa, but I can't ***** too much in a win.BMPantherComment

Also remember that China rested alot of their studs in the 2nd half of their loss to Lithuania in order to be ready for UNI. A fresh Eglseder against a Chinese team is a great situation.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.
