Spain and Slovenia with two comfortable wins tonight. Israel is losing to the Netherlands at the half. Greece is currently leading Italy, a couple of minutes before the end of the half.

Italy's coach also lead cheerleader is pretty entertaining.

Fontecchio has a ton of heart. He's having a heck of a game. Utah has a good one.

Italians fought hard. They got a ton of offensive boards to keep them in the game when they needed it. Dorsey shooting flamethrowers the last two games. If only he could pass, lol.

Good game. Greece really need Papagiannis and Kostas Antetokounmpo to come back. The only reason this game was close was because of the second chance opportunities for Italy.

Great defense -> brick -> offensive rebound -> open 3

Greece got its second win but we once again had issues in the 4th. We are allowing teams to come back at the end of games and that's a bad habit to have. Giannis and Dorsey were great once again. Agravanis also had a very good game and he was our X factor.

Simone Fontecchio had an awesome game for Italy. It was he and Tonut who led the Italian charge in the 4th.

In other EuroBasket news, Israel came back once again, this time against the Netherlands. They were down 40-32 at the half but they ended up winning the game by 7 (67-74).

Yea this Utah rebuild could be the ideal situation for him. Maybe Utah can squeeze out some Ingles/Bogdanovic production from him long term.

Vezenkov is doing a lot of work. Too bad that Bulgaria is 0-2.

Crazy how he could probably be the go to guy on average eurocup teams.
