U21 Press ReleaseCubs defeat Serbia, 93-87Coach Morwood used both his mastery of game tactics and a 16-point lead entering the fourth quarter to beat 8th ranked Serbia in downtown Sofia, Bulgaria last May 30.
A late surge by the Máté Bocsa - led Serbians was enough to beat Team Pilipinas, who despite the win, are fourth in Pool A because of an inferior point different against the US, Spain, and Brazil.
Starting the tournament with a win is really good, this is the kind of momentum we need in preparation for our next game against the (top ranked) United States
, coach Morwood said in a phone interview.
You know you have a good chance of winning if their top scorer plays off the bench. This, however, tells you how deep their squad is. I am happy to get the win.
Small forward sensation Mike Delabajan led the Panthers with 22 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals with 0 turnovers in 34 minutes of action.
The Panthers are expected to have a touch matchup against the 1st seed United States, who soundly defeated Egypt earlier that day, 110-81.
