Huge game for Maodo Lo today as his 29 points pushed Germany over the host Croatia in the semifinals of the Olympic Qualifying tournament. Lo's German team outlasted a 38 point effort from Bojan Bogdanovic of the Utah Jazz.
Lo and Germany will face Brazil tomorrow with a trip to the Olympics on the line. He is now 7th in the Croatia Qualifying Tournament in scoring at 13.7 points per game
Really rough game for Lo in Germany's 89-76 loss to a really good Australia team. Matisse Thybulle of the Sixers was really tough defensively for Australia, and Lo shot just 2/12 (1/8 from 3) for 6 points and had 6 turnovers.
Barring a Czech Republic upset of Team USA this morning, I believe Germany will be one of the top 2 ranked 3rd place teams, which means they will still advance to the knockout stage
