Singapore go down to India in FIBA U-16 basketball
By Les Tan
Johor, Malaysia, Monday, November 23, 2009 – Singapore lost 51-65 to India at the FIBA U-16 Basketball Championship today.
Trailing just by one point at half-time (25-26), Singapore shot only six of 14 from the field in the third quarter to allow India to take a 12-point (51-39) lead into the final quarter.
Four of 17 shooting in the final quarter meant Singapore never got nearer than seven points (48-55).
India then pulled away to lead by as many as 15 points before they wrapped up the 14-point win.
Singapore’s Ng Wei Xiang tied with Shyam Sunder of India with a game-high 15 points. Teammate Larry Liew had 10 points while Delvin Goh led his team with nine rebounds.
Singapore have now lost their second Group III game in a row. They play their final Group III game tomorrow against Thailand at 10am.
In a Group I quarter-final game, China thrashed Korea 121-51 to remain unbeaten in the championship. The other remaining unbeaten team, Philippines, play Iran tonight at 10pm.
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.
