Junior Tallblacks go down by two

Given that they weren't rated a chance against the Argentinians, the Junior Tallblacks showed a bit of spine to push them to the final possesion and almost pull off a shock upset in the first round of the Under19 World Champs in Auckland yesterday. Down by 1 with 3.3 to go in the fourth, the Kiwi's forced a crucial turnover and as they pushed the ball up to try for a game winner, they got called for a travel lol. DOH!!!
Final score was 66-64, they can def hold their heads high tho pushing a team like that all the way.
Matius Nocedal was the man for Argentina knocking down treys hard in the 4th. NZ's only bigman, Centre Rob Loe sprained his ankle at the end and is in doubt for the next round.
Emu's kicked Canada's arse round the court for 4 quarters to win 88-77.
America smashed iraq, then beat them in auckland at basketball aswell lol
