Croatian NT will look forward to make an opening statement vs underdog Finland in it’s opening game of 2011 EuroBasket in Lithuania.
However, Finland which has just won additional FIBA EuroBasket qualifying cycle, is in it’s top form right now and just can not be taken lightly by any team.
With combo guard Petteri Koponen known as the “chief executor” of Finland’s offense, expect Croatian G/F Marko Tomas to chase him all over the court for 40 minutes.
Expect a rough & tight game until the closing seconds.
