Luka Doncic, Slovenia reach final, on verge of qualifying for Olympic basketball tournament

Mike Tobey scored 27 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, and Luka Doncic was one rebound shy of a triple-double as Slovenia eased past Venezuela 98-70 on Saturday in the semifinals of an Olympic qualifying tournament in Kaunas, Lithuania.

Slovenia needs just one more win to earn a trip to the Olympics.

Tobey was born in New York, went to high school in New Jersey, played college ball for Virginia, began his pro career in North Carolina and eventually signed with a club in Spain.

He was 11 for 17 from the field for Slovenia, and Doncic raved about his performance.
