very well said sir. my only objection is that #7 did look at the refs for a foul immediately after the shot. he didnt complaint when he realised they didnt call it because i think he is an experienced enough player to know it wouldnt make a difference. there is some contact on the shot. he partially blocks the ball too though plus its very rare to see calls on desperation buzzer shots from midcourt although there is some form of contact on most of them. totally justified non call gg nigeria

nigeria played harder tonight. their offensive strategy was primarly catch and shoot or executing off the dribble contested 3 pointers or long 2s. no ball movement whatsoever. most of the points in the paint were 2 chance points rather than posting/driving. however nigerias poor offense was nothing compared to greece nox existent defense. supposedly our strong suit. nigeria played their heart out. they deserved to qualify. they wanted it more than us and did everything on court to show that

I spoke of players, not the coach. But I did watch closely the shooter # 7 who should be the first and loudest one to complain, but he left the field as fast as he could. The 2 players followed the coach,when it was too late. Greece is one of the best nations when it comes to Basketball, Nigeria is a no name. If a team has to rely on a buzzer beater 0,2 Sec before the end, it has already lost the game.
