If our boy could hit a low-average percentage instead of abysmally this game is a blowout. Completely disaster shooting from all 3 levels.

In watching Furphy there is so much to like. What I have seen today even though he looks fatigued his ability to make entry passes both on cuts to the hoop or post ups looks, which appears to be elite. Off the dribble he can move the defenders with his stop and go speed change game and even of post ups he uses his eyes and ball fakes to get the right angle to make the entry pass. Pure BBIQ, we did not have much of that last year. Reed should benefit immensely by playing with some players (Demary/Furphy) that are big enough and have the skill set to make consistently good entry passes.

He (Furphy) definitely plays more like an upper class man than a freshman. Look forward to see how that translates but I think this tournament was a great indicator that his skills will play at a high division 1 level. The fight for minutes is going to be really interesting. I can easily see a future that Furphy becomes to valuable to take off the floor especially if Demary plays more as a scoring point guard his skills will be even more valuable.

Furphy with only 4 points at half vs Canada in consolation game. Gotta wonder if playing 7 games in 8 days is making him fatigued. I’d say so

I have not watched any of the games, only the highlights, and I can answer this. The answer is yes, playing that much is making him fatigued.

Rough line for Furphy. 8 points on 3-18 shooting (0-7 three) in a 3 point loss
 
I watched most of the first four or five games. The Australian coach like to do mass substitutions taking the entire starting 5 out and replacing them with a new starting 5. Except…

The one player he would always leave in was Furphy. He played great in all these early games. But in the fourth-quarter he was wearing down and not as effective.

So yeah, the only answer is fatigue. Not worried about his abilities when he gets to UConn.

That's an insane schedule. FIBA can't spread the games out some more? Kind of stupid to do that to teams. How do they schedule in the Olympics? I don't think they schedule like that.
 
7 games in 9 days not 8 (2 days off), but yeah, still pretty nuts to be playing 35 min a day.

They do a similar 6 games in 8 days for the group stage, but then the knockout rounds have 2 days before they start and then a day off inbetween each game.

Probably at the request of all these nations. A lot of these teams operate on a shoe-string. I know firsthand that the US soccer teams do at the U (20 and lower) levels.

My understanding is that the host tournament and FIBA cover travel and accommodations. Is that not true?
 
Reibe starting to get loose in the 2nd, all of his 7 points in the quarter
 
Reibe’s so advanced offensively. Germany played through him for a stretch and he scored 3 straight baskets, one from deep, against this usa team. Also had two stops at the rim, but racked up 3 quick fouls in 5 defensive plays.
 
Brutal 3rd for Reibe but that was the case for the whole team and they became unglued, US kicked things into another gear that Germany couldn't keep up with.
 
Man that is one ugly looking FT. He's going to need to clean that up... A lot cleaner from deep. Not very typical
