[milkyway21]

so why is Diop missing from the Senegal squad? i was hoping to hear how Rasho match up with Diop.


SEN - "We take this victory but we must stay calm"

- Senegal coach Moustapha Gaye refused to get carried away by his side's last-minute victory over 2003 EuroBasket champions Lithuania and insisted there is still a lot of work to achieve before the FIBA World Championship in Japan.

Senegal lost to France 95-58 on Friday and then to China 57-53 on Saturday before edging a 75-74 win over top European side Lithuania on Sunday evening.

Behind for most of the clash, Gaye's men completed an action-packed return in the final quarter which saw them snatch victory in the last minute when Le Havre's Babacar Cisse converted a three-pointer.

Gaye told PA Sport: "I take this victory but we must stay calm, we are still at the start of our preparation.

"We managed to play better and better in this tournament and Lithuania were probably a little tired from their match against France, so we took advantage of that. But as a whole I noticed we improved our game.

"The most important thing is to be ready for the start of the FIBA World Championship and we are still far from it, in terms of our game and spirit."

Senegal, who booked their ticket to the prestigious competition despite being beaten by Angola in the FIBA Africa Championship final last summer, will be in Group D along with China, the United States, Slovenia, Italy and Puerto Rico and will kick start the competition on August 19 against Slovenia. :lol

Despite his side`s performance Gaye will keep his feet on the ground and does not want to raise his ambitions ahead of the FIBA World Championship.

"I don't want to ask myself too many questions," he added.

"I try to keep the same line of conduct. In a competition like that we have not got yet the same experience as France or Lithuania."

Lithuania coach Antanas Sireika, meanwhile, tried to remain positive despite the defeat and added: "We played well in the first quarter and then we thought the game would be easy and we relaxed our efforts.

"It's good in a way to have lost a preparation match that way, and the one to France as well, because it will allow us not to make the same mistakes again in the future."

[angel_luv]

All right Jaka! :)

[Kori Ellis]

I would think you would notice if you were watching the game. He's a 7 footer with the biggest wingspan in the NBA. He's a rookie on the Sonics.

:lol I don`t think he`s there, but I could be wrong, I don`t know any players on their team. That`s why I keep writing senegal, instead of their names. And also, since I don`t know how to spell them. :lol
For sure he wasn`t in the game yet.

I have yet to earn and keep enough v-bookie worth the trip to the bank. :oops :lol

[themvp]

Yupeee! :)

[angel_luv]

This was super fun... see you guys for game 2. :fro

Night, night! :)

[Renu_]

[Pero]

I think we shot too many 3pters. I hope we won`t live by the three and die by the three, which is quite likely with better teams.

[Pero]

Italians are our regular customers, but we shouldn`t underestimate them. I hope they don`t surprise us.

[velik_m]

Italians are our regular customers, but we shouldn`t underestimate them. I hope they don`t surprise us.

yes, certainly, we mustn't get ahead of ourselfs. Senegal is the worst team in our group and we just did what we had to do. We're now locked out of 6th place, time to climb up one win at the time.

is Rasho hurt? only 16 min, and 4 pts?

[Ozzy]

is Rasho hurt? only 16 min, and 4 pts?

Nah, he was in foul trouble quite early so the coach had to take him out. And at the end there was just no need to put him back in. The team played last 6 or 7 minutes without a real center (both Brezec and Rasho were on the bench).

[angel_luv]
