Lithuania losing game to this Latvia hurt, man, I thought they were getting gold, their betting coef in that game was 1.01 (-10000)...


u20 team had coach who spent years on NBA and Euroleague bench, u18 had MKL coach. Another, conspiracy theory of mine, says they lost because coach didn't select my hometown kid

They set the record on opening day, cruised passed group stage and figured they will have it easy there, loser mentality. U20 team outperformed all expectations, 6 players on that team were year younger than general competitions, Raupelis and Juzėnas aren't even 19 yet. That Ferrari kid on Italian squad looks like a good one though.

Will be interesting to see what Songaila will do in Šiauliai, our domestic league is barely functioning these days, teams from second league flat out refuse promotion, but anyway. I wonder is this better than being 8th. assistant on the Spurs, maybe it is.

Nah, it's functioning too well, compared to second league
