Dante Exum and Australia will have to defeat Greece in the group stage finale on Friday, August 2 to clinch a spot in the knockout stage of the Olympic Basketball Tournament.
After their loss to Canada on Tuesday (93-83), the Boomers are in a must-win situation and Dante Exum has made it clear that his team will be ‘ready’ against the Greeks.
“This one hurts a little bit. We will go into the next game with the game plan and make sure we can control that game and come out with a win. They are hungry for a win and hungry to stay in the tournament. So, we need to be ready,” Dante Exum said afterwards, via Eurohoops.net.
Exum had 15 points, on 6/9 shooting, in his debut in the Olympic Basketball Tournament, but it wasn’t enough for the Aussies, who are now tied with Spain. Meanwhile, Greece is winless (0-2), but still has a chance to reach the knockout stage.
