Ukranian star Sergii Gladyr will probably miss the game. Huge loss for Ukraine, and saw them in the last match without him. But Turkey are very bumpy team... You have seen them in New Zealand and USA team, mentally troubled. So maybe Turkey favourite here but it will be very close game. Can not say anything certain until the last ball...

Hopefully though Mykhailiuk can get more playing time. I liked what I saw of him in the Finland game.
As for the game i'm giving a slight advantage to Turkey and mostly due to their experienced players and knowing how to help their team end up with a win.

13-13 end Q1. Here's what I see: a defensive game, with Turkey winning by more than 7 pts. Basically those 2 teams are pretty similar: half-court, disciplined teams, but unlike my always-pessimistic Turkish friends, I think that Turkey has more talented personnel, especially offensive-wise. The X factor will be Jeter...

26-25 HT. Game going more or less as expected, except that Ukraine managed to stay close despite Jeter being a nonfactor and Gladyr not playing. Mischula shooting great. The best play from this scrimmage should be the running bank shot by Kravtsov!

If not, I don't know, but I can say that for 8€ you can have good picture and decent* English comments here: http://www.fibaworldcup.livebasketball.tv/ (mostly play-by-play, sometimes a bit tasteless, but not necessarily worse than what I heard on ESPN during USA-Turkey when announcers kept saying "Sinan Gulej" for "Sinan Guler", as if that were the correct pronunciation in Turkish...)
