Its like we have a mental edge on DR or something.

Even if we won, this should only have been a 5 point win or something. Sorry dominicans, I really hope you do qualify for London.

Congratulations to Brasil! It doesnt help Puerto Rico at all, but at least it keeps argentinians mouth shut on Fiba Americas site.

Oh yeah!

Panama vs Canada = Canada wins by 20

Uruguay vs Venezuela = Venezuela wins by 10

Dominican Republic vs Argentina = Argentina wins by 15

Puerto Rico vs Brasil = Brasil wins by 5

[Dtown]

Mostly set up for who plays who.

Assuming Argentina wins (and I do by 12)

If Brazil wins it is then vs DR in the first round. If PR wins, Argentina plays DR in a rematch, and Brazil and PR have a rematch. I'm going to say Brazil loses in a let down game to Puerto Rico by 5. The rematch though might favor the Brazilians.

Last spot for the Olympic Qualifier is Venezuela's to lose. I think they clinch it plus 10.

In a game meaningful just for the pride, Panama upset Canada 91-89 !

[J-Mart]

Panama beats Canada, which eliminates Canada and gives new life to Uruguay...

that's not an upset

[Dtown]

Poor Canada, it does make Uruguay vs Venezuela into a qualifying game for the additional qualifying tournament though.

[guilherme.rcf]

So what happens now?

Uruguay just has to beat Venezuela to get the 5th place?

[Mojado]

Three players of Panama played through the whole game, while four others split time on the court. Pinnock didnt play at all...and they still beat Canada. Now I want to see how Rautins is going to save his head.

[saalsapr]

Hooray for Panama!

Ok now Im 100% sure Leo Rautins is worse than Manolo.

I want to add how the heck did he qualify for the World's two years ago??!!

[J-Mart]

that's not an upset

the way Panama has been playing this tournament and how much was at stakes for Canada... It's an upset.
