Nembhard's Heroics Carry Canada To Semifinals at FIBA U19 World Cup

#2 Canada 81, #3 Spain 77 - Box Score - - Highlights

RIGA, LATVIA – Incoming Creighton freshman Ryan Nembhard once again starred when his team needed it most to help Canada improve to 5-0 at the FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup following a come-from-behind 81-77 win vs. Spain on Friday afternoon in Riga, Latvia.

The start of Nembhard's game was anything but ideal, as he picked up two fouls in the first 3:18 and was forced to the bench. His third personal came with 4:27 to go in the second quarter, relegating the Canadian floor leader to the bench for the rest of the half.
