PHL had 23 offensive rebounds, while Korea grabbed 22 defensive rebounds.
Korea seemed they like their chances if they finished 3rd in their group, which they did. Jordan finished second and will face the Aussies in the QF. PHL bracket, on paper, is easier than Jordan's. PHL will face Japan in the QF.
Congrats for the win, first time to win vs Korea in U-16 competition. 5 boys scored in double figures, and team registered 26 assists. Very Un-Reyes like. Good job, Josh's assistants. LOL
Good luck vs Japan

Congratulations to Philippines U16 team for dominant win 95-71. They were more talented and better athleticism. If there is consolation, our players can learn from Philippine better guards in the game tape to help them improve.

We had problems with your full court press. I think our guards learned more from your guards.

Thank you but our pressure defense never really mattered in the game. What I like in Philippine U16 team is their ability to play no position basketball and the guards crash boards. It will be good if Edi Daniel and the rest of our players study the game carefully.
whos 28? he's a big that plays outside, interesting to see how he develops
Iran going toe to toe with China
even Batang Gilas is level with China toe to toe, head to head is a different story though
I just watched the SK game and we were pretty good. Any victory against SK is appreciated specially a pretty good blowout. I think we led them by almost 20 since the first.
The boys are pretty good switchable defenders. On offense they are pretty good to watch. Most guys can drive and shoot.
The press of SK was easily defeated by letting that Daja kid help the guard. He plays PF but is a pretty good decision maker when bringing up the ball. I like this kid. Seems to be another long armed undersized big but versatile. Has that one hander but seems to be a decent 3 pt shooter.
For a moment I liked the 7 Ludovice guy. For a bunch of possessions he looked like Steph. Drive, pass, relocate, bang. It was like 5 possessions that he couldnt miss from 3 except when he was undercutted. However, he missed all his shots on the right side of the court.
Talking about boy dribble, we have no. 11 Velasquez. He had some good plays but also many times he drove into nowhere.
Overall though the guys did well. Their team defense is spot on. I was really surprised that we could defeat a Korean team that well.
