USA 107 - Lithuania 105 in OT

[Eagle-96]

Big win for the USA.

Tony goes for:

5 points

8 Rebounds

1 assist

2 steals

1 blocked shot

Looks like he fouled out with 14 minutes played.

The USA win, paired with the Croatia loss to Serbia has clinched the top spot in group F for the USA. That means our side of the bracket will be E4, E2, and F3. The really important thing is to avoid Lithuania until the final...for that to happen, we pretty much need to beat Croatia. Our semifinal opponent though (assuming we get past the 4th place team out of group E) will likely either be Lithuania, Serbia, or Croatia, who are all very strong teams.

Sweet! Tony is a beast on the boards! We might have found our Odufuwa replacement for rebounding. I hope the USA continues to the final game, not just because I want to win, but to give Tony extra time on the floor to work the kinks out from such a long break from bball.

There is a Tony Mitchell block right after the :50 second mark.
