The JM lost yesterday in a close-fought encounter with Denmark. The Danes, including the tournament's top scorer, Thomas Laerke (27ppg), took the first quarter 29-19, and although the Scots went on to win each of the last three quarters of the game, they could not peg back the entire deficit, and lost by 4 points, 68-72. Ali Fraser was, once more, huge for the Scots, with 28 points, which came off of 14/15 shooting from the field, and 5 rebounds, but with only Josh Crolley joining Fraser in double figures, with 10 points to go along with an excellent 14 rebounds, the Scots did not have enough fire power this time around to overcome the Danes, who hit seven 3 pointers to Scotland's 1 in yesterday's match.
The result means that the Scots will take on Georgia, over whom they have already enjoyed a victory in this tournament, this afternoon to decide the 15th and 16th rankings in this year's European U18 Men Division B Championships, with the Danes moving on to contest the 13th and 14th places with Iceland.
