By Les Tan/Red Sports
Johor, Malaysia, Sunday, November 22, 2009 – Singapore went down 58-64 to Bahrain at the FIBA U-16 Basketball Championship in a Group III quarter-final game.
Singapore had finished with a 1-2 win-loss record in the their preliminary group, coming in third behind Korea (3-0) and Syria (2-1). Only the top two teams in their group qualified for the main quarter-final stage (Group I and II).
Singapore went into Group III, along with India, Bahrain and Thailand.
The Singapore boys trailed by as many as 13 (47-60) with seven minutes to play but then put together an 11-0 run to trail by only two (58-60) with 20 seconds to go. Remarkably, they held the Bahrainis scoreless for six and a half minutes.
However, the Bahrainis managed to wake up in time to close out the game as six-point winners.
Singapore’s Delvin Goh stood out with a double-double, scoring 15 points and pulling down 16 rebounds. Teammate Larry Liew also had 15 points while Remus Low had 11.
In the main Group I quarter-final games, China thrashed Taipei 108-61, the Philippines beat Syria 71-57 while Korea beat Japan 93-56. All three countries remain unbeaten in the championship.
The top two countries from Group I and II will qualify for the semi-finals. At stake is a berth in the FIBA U-17 World Championship in Germany in July 2010.
