*scape Youth Park, Sunday, August 22, 2010 — Singapore’s basketball boys reached the 33-point mark for the first time in the tournament when they beat Panama 33-20 in the 17th-20th classification match in the Youth Olympic Games basketball tournament.
In YOG basketball, a game is automatically decided once a team reaches 33 points.
The team will play India tomorrow in a bid to secure 17th place. Singapore already has two wins from two in the classification phase.
The girls team were edged out by Thailand 29-28. This result means that Singapore will finish no higher than 18th place in the girls’ competition as Thailand already have two wins.
Singapore will play Chile tomorrow for 18th place.
Hi what is up with our basketball team with the chinese characters in front of their jersey. We are multi-racial and we must respect our non-chinese citizens. We are not a province of China. I already being a chinese feel alienated by such actions. What unity are you talking about. Very soon I think we should have malay words on soccer national team jersey and Tamil or Malay words for Hockey Team. Ridiculous!
