Willy Hernangómez and Spain play Poland on Saturday in EuroBasket Round of 16

As EuroBasket 2015 enters the knockout round, Spain look to recover from a sub-par performance in the group stage.

After stumbling through the group phase at EuroBasket, Willy Hernangómez and Spain have advanced to the Round of 16. They will face Poland on Saturday (12:30 p.m. ET) and are 14-point favorites.

The Spaniards were hit-and-miss in the group stage, blowing out Turkey one day and giving up 105 points to Italy the next. Their defense has been shaky throughout. They are allowing 82.2 points per game, struggling to defend on the perimeter and often showing minimal effort in transition.
