Canada Falls To Venezuela, Will Play In Third-Place Game
FIBAIt was a very disappointing for Team Canada on Friday night.
Canada had a chance to clinch their way to the 2016 Rio Olympics, but instead will have to wait until next summer to for their chance to qualify.
Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and Canada fell to Venezuela 79-78 on Friday night. The most frustrating thing for them has to be the fact that they beat Venezuela by 20 earlier in the preliminary round.
Wiggins and Bennett might have had their two worst games of the tournament. Wiggins finished with nine points, two rebounds and two assists. He shot 3-of-9 from the field, 1-of-2 from the three-point line and was unable to get to the free-throw line at all.
