Day 1 Results - Aug 13, 2005
In the opening day host Turkey
crushed UAE by ...78 points. The surprise is victory of Finnish team against
Brazil. But it seems Brazil did not send any serious players and basically
gave up on achieving any good results at the tournament.
Based on day 1 results it's easy to point few teams which are aiming for the
medal positions. Mentioned above host Turkish team can be joined in this
group by USA, Ukraine, Australia, Lithuania (here big question after so-so
game against UK), Canada, Italy, Russia, SRB and probably China.
Croatia was the only team, which did not arrive to Izmir as Croatian
federation refused sending their university team.
The best player of day one was Ukrainian
Andrei
Lebedev (189-G-79), who lead his team to 88-73 victory over Greece.
