We had a quick phone call today from the Mali team and here is what I was able to write down.
The team played the Senegal National Team and won 76-64.
Here is the scoring summary -
Jake Diebler, Valparaiso University - 5 points
Jesse Sanders, Liberty University - 3 points
Shane Dansby, Belmont University - 14 points
Danero Thomas, Murray State - 4 points
Ian O’Leary, St Marys, CA - DNP
Ramon Harris, University of Kentucky - 8 points
Urule Igbavboa, Valparaiso University - 11 points
Jay Watkins, Southern Idaho - 8
Julian Gamble, University of Miami - 13 points
Jared Carter, University of Kentucky - 15 points
Brook & Stephanie were able to hold some clinics with some Senegal teams and built some quality relationships with three specific players.
The team boarded a plane today and should already be in Mali. The four team tournament starts on Tuesday.
Hopefully the team can update this entry with more details from the game.
