France, Domon fall in FIBA U20 semifinals
MBB: The Racer freshman will play in the EuroBasket 3rd place game Sunday
France fell to Lithuania, 81-71, in the semifinals of the FIBA U20 EuroBasket on Saturday — formerly known as the European Championships.
Incoming Murray State freshman Roman Domon, led France with 15 points and grabbed three rebounds in the loss. France will play Serbia in the 3rd place game tomorrow.
France led 30-24 at the end of the first quarter, but scored just 41 points the rest of the way. Lithuania outscored France 23-12 in the third quarter to take control of the game.
Here is the full game broadcast of France vs. Lithuania.
Murray State Head Coach Ryan Miller said on Thursday that Domon is expected to begin going through the visa process to get him to campus on Tuesday, and that process usually takes four to five days. Miller is hopeful Domon will be in Murray in about a week, in time to join the Racers before they leave for their exhibition tour in The Bahamas on August 1st.
