HoosierPal Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Nice game by Ingvi, but another loss for the Icelanders. Better shooting from 3 today, 3 of 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had to watch Russian pirate feeds of the actual team play locally If you watched Russian pirate feeds, I would suggest a thorough sweep of your computer including root malaware. Just saying.

wgstl Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Jesus Christ. Pretty much the only player on the team that i didn't expect to be ready for college ball, looks like he's totally ready to ball out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Ingvi wish a great pass on the fast break early in the game. The kid is going to be so much better when he's not surrounded by scrubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine this one will be close. Regardless, good experience for Ingvi and I'm looking forward to getting him to SLU in a few weeks.

Quality Is Job 1 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Not one player on Iceland's roster has a last name that doesn't end with "son." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Italy up 42-28 at half. Not sure why, but Ingvi has only played 8 minutes. He's not in foul trouble. Anyway, he's got 3 points and 3 rebounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's just how they do it. Ingvi now has 6 points on 2-4 shooting from the perimeter. He had a nice layup over a much taller defender called off because of an illegal screen. Has 2 steals. Hasn't come out yet this half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they're big and pretty solid. Ingvi just attempted a shot from at least 30 feet away, probably more like 33-34. Front rim, but it wasn't a bad looking shot. Then he missed another off the dribble. He looks the part. I've been saying all along his numbers from FIBA play and the Dominos League probably won't translate due to differences in style, rules, etc. But there's clearly some good potential here. He's skilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's not really a last name in the sense of Western culture's use of a family name. Only a man's brothers or a woman's sisters would have the same apparent last name. It hearkens back to the Biblical format of "So-and-so, son of What's-his-name." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hearkens back to the Biblical format of "So-and-so, son of What's-his-name." It's easier to pull off in a small, relatively contained country but apparently makes it difficult when Icelandic families move around internationally. Ingvi has been on the bench most of the 4th quarter. Italy is up 80-49, so I don't know if he's getting back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Ingvi played a little over 8 minutes each half, mostly in the first and third quarters, in an 81-54 loss. He went 2-7 from the field, 2-6 from 3, with 3 rebounds, 0 assists, 2 steals, and 2 turnovers. Not a whole lot to be drawn from this except that he passes the eye test and got some solid game experience against stronger competition. Even with Iceland's early exit happening as expected, I think he's due to arrive in St. Louis in the first week of August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, he looks like a guy who can play in the A10. Edit: Jk, not eliminated. But I think they were locked into the last seed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Iceland moves onto bracket play. They will play the winner of Group C, (currently Germany who plays last place in Group Romania later today), on Wednesday. There is a losers bracket in the tourney, so Ingvi and Iceland will have at least four more games. They play until the full 1-16 bracket is finalized. http://www.fiba.basketball/europe/u20/2018/fullschedule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I stand corrected. I figured a last-place finish in group play meant they were done. Didn't realize all 16 advanced. So yeah, guess we'll see him again Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not fully sure on this, but I don't think all 16 teams "advanced." They probably set up four new pools based on standings from the first round of pool play. Probably the top half play to advance to championship rounds of elimination play while the bottom half plays for "classification" rounds. By the time they're finished, they'll determine 1-16.
