U21 Press Release:
Team Pilipinas wins against Hong Kong, 98-76
It may be too little too late, but Team Pilipinas U21 snatched its first win in the World Cup Final Pool, beating Hong Kong, 98-76.
The Filipinos took advantage of its strong front court, severely outrebounding Hong Kong, 62-29. “We got our wish to play against the very best in the world. I am proud of what we did this season,” Coach Jorge said after the game.
With Team Pilipinas not making it to the next round, they are most likely going to finish the tournament in sixth place. All they need to do is to either win against China, or not get blown out.
