    It was a day for announcing rosters I guess. Angela Salvadores is one of fifteen players named in Spain's U20 tryout squad for next month. After missing last summer's tournament with an injury, she will want to be a part of this team, which should be the overwhelming favorites for the European Championship.

    The USA U16 Girl's team clinched their spot in the semifinals and next summer's U17 World Championship, although it took them a while to get going against Mexico before winning 100-37.

    Colombia beat Puerto Rico earlier 68-52 so they face Mexico for the last qualification spot.

    Another Duke player with international plans this summer is Antonio Vrankovic. He is one of fifteen players invited to tryout for a Croatia team that will head to the Borislav Stankovic Cup in China in July. There are several regular national team exhibition tournaments and this is one of the more prestigious ones and even the tryouts against Croatian pros should be a good experience even if its not the full national team.

    At the U16 Girl's tournament, the United States continues to get the job done with minimal fuss after a 79-32 win over Puerto Rico:
    http://www.fiba.com/americas/u16wome...ore_statistics

    The other game in the group was for the semifinals place and qualification for the next U17 World Championship and it was Colombia grinding out a 45-41 win over Mexico.
    http://www.fiba.com/americas/u16wome...ore_statistics

    The other group started with the meaningless game as Venezuela beat the Dominican Republic 70-50. The last game would determine the semifinal bracket and Canada had to fight past Argentina for the 71-65 win.

    The USA U16 team reclaimed the FIBA Americas title by dismantling Canada in the second quarter to win 91-46. They have to wait until next year to try to take back world glory.
    http://www.fiba.com/americas/u16wome...ore_statistics

    The game was delayed because it took Argentina overtime to beat Colombia 59-52.
    http://www.fiba.com/americas/u16wome...ore_statistics

    Mexico clearly took out some frustration on Venezuela after missing a golden chance to qualify, winning 71-28.
    http://www.fiba.com/americas/u16wome...ore_statistics

    The day started with Puerto Rico beating the Dominican Republic 76-69 to avoid last place:

    The USA U16 Boy's team starts play in the FIBA Americas Championship at 3:15pm ET. FIBA will have all the games live on their YouTube channel with the option to watch games as replays.

    The next game actually meant something as Puerto Rico fended off David Jones and the Dominican Republic 94-88:
    http://www.fiba.com/americas/u16/201...ore_statistics

    The other group followed the same pattern with Canada beating Venezuela 80-43 in a meaningless game and Argentina coming back to beat Paraguay 71-52 to grab the final spot in the semifinals and the next U17 World Championship:

    My recap of the end of the group phase of EuroBasket Women:
    http://www.womensbasketball247.com/2...y-3-june-19th/

    The Czech Republic, Belarus, Slovenia, and Montenegro are eliminated, leaving 11 teams to compete for 5 spots in the next World Championship.

    EuroBasket Women continued:
    http://www.womensbasketball247.com/2...mes-june-20th/

    Ukraine, Serbia, Hungary, and Russia were eliminated. The winners of the quarterfinals (not counting Spain, which qualifies as the host) will qualify for the World Championship next summer while the losers will get another chance to finis high enough to grab a spot. The matchups are Spain-Latvia, Belgium-Italy, Turkey-Greece, and France-Slovakia.

    As expected, Olek Czyz was named to Poland's preliminary squad for EuroBasket. It's good to hear that he should be healthy.

    http://www.womensbasketball247.com/2...als-june-22nd/

    Belgium, Greece, and France won so they join Spain and the United States in the 2017 World Championship. The winners of the Latvia-Italy and Turkey-Slovakia games on Saturday will join them.

  14. #34
    Angela Salvadores had her first exhibition game for Spain's U20 team as they prepare for the upcoming European Championship with a tournament in France. She led the team with 15 points and added 7 rebounds in 24 minutes as they beat the Portugal U20 team 89-56.

    Puerto Rico has announced that Sofia Roma will not be able to compete for the national team in July at Centrobasket Women due to academic commitments. Do not be surprised if Fago Bez Davalos is unavailable for Mexico for the same reason.

  15. #35
    Angela Salvadores and Spain's U20 team continued their exhibition tournament with a 62-59 loss to Serbia's U20 team. Angela had 3 points in 5 minutes.

    Angela Salvadores and Spain's U20 team is hosting an exhibition tournament before the main event next week. Angela had 10 points in 20 minutes in a 78-36 win over Belgium's U20 team. Maria Conde, who has opted to leave Florida State to turn professional, had 20 points and Laia Raventos of Charlotte had 14 points.

    The USA U19 Men's team starts their World Championship at 11:30am ET on Saturday against Iran. The game can be seen live or as a replay here:

    I figure we can keep stuff about the U19 team here and keep the Bolden thread for Bolden since he's not on this team.

  18. #38
    Angela Salvadores and Spain's U20 team continued their exhibition tournament with a 68-55 win over Russia's U20 team. Angela led all scorers with 14 points in 20 minutes.

    The USA U19 Men's team started the World Championship with an easy 108-48 win over Iran. It's probably too early to draw any conclusions about lineups or which players will be key in later games.

    Their next game will be at 12:15pm ET on Sunday and can be seen here live or as a replay:

    The other game in the group was a close one as Angola took advantage of Italian absences to force overtime, but still lost 70-66. Silvio De Sousa is missing his running mate, which would have made Angola a pretty dangerous team, but he still had a good game.

    In Group A, the day started with New Zealand needing a big fourth quarter to beat South Korea 88-81. The other Kentucky guy at the tournament, Tai Wynyard had 22 points and 6 rebounds and a couple of incoming freshmen, Isaac Letoa and Quinn Clinton also had good games. Han Seung-Hui led South Korea, which did not even get a good game from their star. France is probably considered the second strongest team heading into the tournament and they led big early against Argentina, hitting cruise control in a 62-53 win. Bathiste Tchouaffe, who is probably the name you want to know long term from this team, led the way in the win.

    In Group B, hosts Egypt looked to be rolling against Puerto Rico, but had to hang on to a 67-65 win as they hope to get more out of their star. In the loss, Fairfield commit Jesus Cruz had a good game while he got some help from island-based players in the form of Luis Lopez, who plays for one of the Puerto Rican colleges that play a partial DII NCAA schedule, and Gerardo Teixeira, who appears to mainly play with the junior team of one of the teams in their pro league. The game that was the most anticipated of the first day was not quite at that level as Lithuania beat Germany 98-79. Germany at full strength would have been a near lock for a top four place, but a pair of absences leave them likely short of medal contention. Lithuania got good games from their stars Arnoldas Kulboka and Tadas Sedekerskis, but also got contributions from Daniel Ewing's teammate Rokas Jokubaitis.

    In Group C, Spain had a very tough time with Japan, winning 78-67 with Eric Vila of Texas A&M leading the way. Gonzaga's Rui Hachimura led Japan with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Canada is missing a very large number of players, but they rolled past a Mali team that did not play its American-based players 91-42. RJ Barrett had 20 points and 11 rebounds as he is one of the more dangerous players in the tournament. Canada also got their shooters going, although Oregon-bound Abu Kigab did not dial it up from distance as much as UAB's Nate Darling.

    Angela Salvadores and Spain's U20 team finished their exhibition tournament with a 68-55 win over France's U20 team. Angela had 10 points in 20 minutes. Maria Conde had 16 points.

    The USA U19 Men's team got another easy win, this time against Angola 109-68. The only thing to learn from this one is that Romeo Langford is struggling with an injury and did not play. Silva De Sousa had another good game and was joined by another Florida high schooler, Rifen Miguel.

    The next game will be for the top spot in the group after Italy beat Iran 64-45.

    In Group A, Argentina beat South Korea 100-76 as Leandro Lema was unstoppable. France had trouble pulling away from New Zealand, but got the 80-69 win. The current collegians for New Zealand, Sam Waardenburg and Tai Wynyard, got some more help from St. Mary's bound Quinn Clinton.

    In Group B, Germany eventually built a lead on Puerto Rico to win 69-49. Oscar Da Silva, who is headed to Stanford, has taken on a bigger scoring role for Germany with other absences. The Citadel's Leandro Allende led the way in the loss. Arnoldas Kulboka led Lithuania again, beating Egypt 88-50. The hosts will be happy that they managed to get better games from Omar El-Sheikh and Ahmed Khalaf, who were expected to lead the team.

    In Group C, Japan fended off Mali 76-73. Georgia Tech commit Avi Schafer had a good game along with Rui Hachimura again. Mali was at full strength for this game, getting a good effort from Kansas prepster Blaise Keita. Spain has completely flown under the radar compared to other teams before this tournament, but Aleix Font helped them beat Canada 78-73. The two NCAA players, Eric Vila and Josh Tomaic also had solid games. Lindell Wigginton and RJ Barrett struggled shooting, which could be a problem, but Abu Kigab had another good game along with Siena-bound Prince Oduro. Danilo Djuricic, who will play for Tommy Amaker at Harvard also chipped in with 10 points.

    As always, other national teams have a lot more games to play than the United States. The South American U17 Girls' Championship has been played in Sucre, Bolivia over the past five days to qualify three teams for the next U18 FIBA Americas Championship that will qualify teams for the 2019 U19 Championship. Chile beat Venezuela 69-64 to grab the last spot. Argentina then beat Colombia 71-55 to win the championship.
    Final Standings:
    Argentina
    Colombia
    Chile
    Venezuela
    Ecuador
    Peru
    Bolivia
    Uruguay
