In Taiwan, Egypt beat Taiwan B 83-59, with other results giving them the tiebreaker win for the entire tournament. It was a fairly surprising result after a rough start, so the team is probably feeling better about at least not embarrassing themselves too much in their extremely tough group. In the loss, DII player Kevin Hu/Hu Long-Mao, had 14 points and 6 rebounds.

A tournament in France started with Australia beating Ukraine 74-65. In the win, ex-Valparaiso player Ryan Broekhoff had 15 points and the ex-Washington State players had solid efforts with Aron Baynes providing 14 points and 12 rebounds and Brock Motum adding 11 points. Ex-Portland player Pooh Jeter, taking up the naturalized player spot again this summer, had 14 points.
The second game of the tournament nearly yielded a surprise with the Philippines giving final-roster France everything before losing 75-68. In the win, Nicolas Batum had 16 points and 11 rebounds and Joffrey Lauvergne, whose rights are held by the Denver Nuggets, had 12 points and 8 rebounds. In the loss, Andray Blatche had 12 points and 7 rebounds as he continues to adjust to his new role as the naturalized player as the team opted to use both him and Marcus Douthit in the game (not at the same time), which will not be possible later.
The Dominican Republic lost 84-71 to Kentucky in the Bahamas. Ex-Albany player Gerardo Suero had 15 points and ex-Quinnipiac player James Feldeine had 13 points. I will ignore the other side as they might go away if I pretend they do not exist.
Brazil is the latest team to name a full roster, just in time for their game against the United States:
