THE STORY: Slovenia faces off in the quarterfinals against a Polish national team, fresh off a victory over Ukraine. Poland placed third in Group D, notching victories over the Czech Republic, Israel, and Holland. They lost twice in group play, falling to Finland and Serbia.
Team Poland doesn’t have any players I’m familiar with, but the thing about a 40 minute basketball game is that anything can happen (just ask Greece, who fell yesterday to Germany or Serbia, who got outshot by Italy).
