The country\u2019s representatives for the FIBA U19 World Cup, the Gilas Youth, will be going back to the Philippines with a 14th-place finish out of 16 participating countries after suffering their fifth and final loss against New Zealand last Sunday, July 7 at the Heraklion University Hall in Greece.<\/span><\/p>\n

The score ended 76-70, National University Bullpup Carl Tamayo put up a double-double of 24 points and 12 rebounds. Dave Ildefonso and Dalph Panopio provided 16 points each. Big man Kai Sotto was limited to single-digits of eight points, eight rebounds, and four assists throughout the entire game. Gerry Abadiano attempted a crucial shot at the last nine seconds of the game, but it bounced off the rim to prevent a 72-all match in the fourth. Tamayo was also called for an unsportsmanlike foul at the last 3.6 seconds of the fourth, which allowed the Filipinos\u2019 opponents to seal the win.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For New Zealand, Flynn Cameron led the way at 21 points, six rebounds, and four assists, including a layup at the last minute of the match. Teammate Max Darling contributed 16 points and eight rebounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout their entire run, Gilas Youth only saw one victory, which was against Team China, out of a total of six games. With the 14th place finish, they are also considered the third-best team from Asia.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
