Apparently was leading 0.4 seconds to go by 3 points but still managed to lose the match

 

 

Anyway it looks there some progress from the loses to Albania and co from couple of years ago... maybe thhere a chance for a win in a international match in the next decade. As San Marino proved last week in football, only sky is the limit

Just rewatched that last minute, because apparently there were a controversy according to medias, but it took almost 15 minutes.  oh dear, this sport is just something else.

Another big tournament without  

 

This format of having qualifiers throughout the year definitely resulted in a lot of surprising results as many teams with big players are missing them, but I don't think anyone has suffered as much in recent years as Croatia! Perhaps it is a lack of depth?

 

Obviously with Bogdanovic, Saric, and Zubac, they would not struggle in qualifiers. Still, other teams have the same issues (especially in weeks when EuroLeague players could not play), but are able to manage to qualify with their B/C teams. Of course they were also unlucky to be in the group with Cyprus, a weak host/automatic qualifier!
