Vasiljevic had an efficient five for 11 from the floor and four for eight on three-point attempts. He didn’t have to carry the Australian offense. He had essentially done so in averaging 22.5 points per game entering Friday’s game. His stellar play in Taiwan will be a boon to the Miami basketball program this winter.
Despite the win, Australia landed just outside qualifying for the medal round. Israel and Lithuania will represent Group D in the medal round. Australia tied with Ukraine with a 3-2 record. They were one game behind Israel and Lithuania’s 4-1 records.
