[dcro 10,210]

All four European teams + China will qualify from this tournament, anything else would be a complete upset.

actually Cuba in not that bad at all.

China will be the favourite to take the last spot, but I wouldn't call them a lock. Cuba has a decent team and Nigeria has looked decent in its first two matches too.

What about Argentina then ? From the little I've seen, they looked like a decent team also.

 

By the way, Cuba's first half yesterday night was awful.

Yup, Argentina has a good chance for an upset too. Cuba's second quarter was pretty bad. I want to say Cuba was just saving its energy since it was always going to lose to France, but it was just France outworking them.

Well, looks like someone could stop China. Spain destroyed them today, with 77 - 43 win.

I wouldn’t call for the end of China just yet. They are the type of team that would essentially throw a game knowing they don’t have a chance here and focus on the quarter-final/winning the 5th place match.

  FAVORITES FOR RIO !

[nenad 442]

So, Serbia will be without Bjelica and Marjanović at OQT and probably without Marjanović if we qualify for Rio. Still favourites to go through the OQT but not as big as we thought.
