The top two teams from Myanmar will qualify for the Yemen Championship.

Terming the hosting of event in Myanmar as historical SEABA Secretary General Dato’ Yeoh Choo Hock said: “The Myanmar Basketball Federation has taken every positive step to stage this championship in high notes. The government of Myanmar has provided all the support to that effect.”

“On behalf of SEABA, FIBA Asia and the basketball fraternity of Asia, I thank and congratulate the government of Myanmar for taking this positive and progressive step,” added Dato’ Yeoh, also the FIBA Asia Secretary General.

I thought Burma still bans online access? If so then there's no chance we could get livestreams.

[reamily]

Singapore would rely to Low scoring

but even not beneficial for RP it is the best thing for Laos and Myanmar to start their basketball programs they even beat indonesia in terms of a national team program(even undisputedly rank next to rp in mens basketball) Indonesia sends club teams/all star seletions in intl. tournament wasting the 300 million manpower they have

[b3lowzro]

I put my money on Laos on this one

[d_viper]

To reamily

Singapore not only rely on Low, the effort is team work.
There is few potential in Singapore team like Delvin, Larry & zhao feng.

[paolylo]

that Philippine team is basically the same team that finished 4th behind China, South Korea, and Iran in last year's FIBA Asia U16. for their preparation, they've been playing college teams with a lot of 23-year old players.
