SLUMedBilliken15 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Rob Loe has officially made the New Zealand National Team that will be playing in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Venezuela for one of three remaining spots in the Olympics. Unfortunately, it appears that four of New Zealand's best players are either injured or withdrew from the team. Therefore, I do not expect that the Tall Blacks have a very good chance to qualify. Hopefully, this will give Loe a chance to step up, be the star of the team, and gain some confidence. http://www.basketbal...in-tall-blacks/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Let's hope for an IV levle of improvement. IV came back from the Greece team and was a force for us his JR year. RL's a different style player from IV, but hopefully they'll have him do some heavy lifting on the inside and not just stick him on the perimeter to create mismatches.

Is this the same kid that visited SLU on an official visit this past fall despite the fact he had already signed with Hawaii but didn't bother to tell anyone at SLU about the signing. He sounds like a real reliable guy to have around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billikan Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Congrats and good luck to Rob! Also, I would love to see Rob and Cody square off against each other in those games. This is great news all around. Rob will be immersed in an incredible experience playing against big time players in practice and in games. He will get to play in other countries, with games in Brazil against big time teams like Brazil and Greece and then off to Olympic qualifying in Venezuela. Even if they don't get to London this will be a fantastic life experience for Rob and he will come back more mature and seasoned. Cody will get to play and practice with some of the best young players in Australia and he will be tougher and more experienced when he gets back to St. Louis. These experiences will help build their basketball IQ and their all around games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 http://www.fiba.com/pages/eng/fc/news/presRele/p/newsid/50506/presReleArti.html Group A: Greece, Jordan, Puerto Rico Group B: Lithuania, Nigeria, Venezuela Group C: Dominican Republic, Korea, Russia Group D: Angola, F.Y.R. of Macedonia, New Zealand Top 2 teams from each group go to the quarterfinals. FIBA rankings of these 12 teams: 4. Greece 5. Lithuania 11. Russia 15. Angola 16. Puerto Rico 18. New Zealand 21. Nigeria 22. Venezuela 25. Dominican Republic 28. Jordan 31. Korea 33. Macedonia So New Zealand got a nice draw with its group. Maybe even with the injury issues, the Tall Blacks can still get out of Group D and pull a few upsets to grab the third place spot. It will probably be Greece and Lithuania in the final and then everybody else chasing the third spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUMedBilliken15 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Anyone know of a link to watch the games between the Tall Blacks and the Emerging Boomers today and tomorrow? I think they should be great games to watch to gauge RL's and CE's offseason improvement. Unfortunately I didn't see the game listed on firstrowsports.eu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
