The FIBA World Cup Draw results

c/o FIBA

Earlier this morning, 2 AM to be precise, the fate of 24 nations were placed on pots, the results as you can see from the photo above.

Coach Chot Reyes clearly reminded us that playing in this level of competition will not be easy, and with the result of the draw, it won't be.

Senegal finished third in Afrobasket. Croatia was 4th in Eurobasket. Puerto Rico lost to Mexico in the FIBA-Americas title game. Greece and Argentina have their pedigree in basketball lore.

Here is Gilas' schedule in the prelims. No time yet:

August 30 vs CRO
August 31 vs GRE
September 1 vs ARG
September 2 = rest day
September 3 vs PUR
September 4 vs SEN

Listen to what Chot had to say about it:
