3rd place game just started.

Spain wins the bronze medal: Score 72 -58.

Yetna played many minutes, but didn't take very many shots.

This experience will certainly better prepare him to play in the AAC this year as a freshman.

Thanks for following Yetna (and the game) for those of us that could not.  

Meanwhile, here are some of the rest.  You may run into them at a Publix (if you're living right).

I meant to type that FRANCE (Yetna's  team) wins the bronze medal!

I've also  been following  the pre-tournament games of the U18 women's team from SPAIN  where two of our incoming WBB players will be competing in August. Those games will also be shown live or replay on YouTube.

So, I inadvertently typed that Spain beat France in the U18M bronze game.

CRETE - Tulane men’s basketball rising sophomore guard Ray Ona Embo and USF incoming freshman Alexis Yetna helped lead France to the bronze medal at the FIBA U20 European Championships after a 72-58 victory over Spain in the bronze medal game Sunday at Heraklion Arena in Greece. After winning Group B with a perfect 3-0 record, France cruised past Czech Republic, 88-61, in the round of 16, before using an impressive second-half surge to defeat Serbia, 86-67, in the quarterfinals. The five-game winning streak was halted in the semifinals, as Group A winner and undefeated Israel proved to be too much for the French in a 74-52 final. Ona Embo made at least one basket in each of the first six games of the tournament, which included six points and three rebounds in just nine minutes of action against Israel in the semifinals. He had two steals against Iceland in the first game of group play and dished out four assists against Montenegro in game two.

 

Like Ona Embo, Yetna appeared in all seven games for France. Despite averaging 9.6 minutes per game, Yetna grabbed 3.6 rebounds per game while hitting 45-percent of his attempts from the field. Gold medalists in FIBA’s U18 European Championships in 2016 and claiming the U16 crown in 2014, France never trailed in Sunday’s triumph over Spain.
