Group play at Eurobasket finished up Thursday as Montenegro defeated Romania 86-69. Montenegro had already punched their ticket to the knockout round beginning for them Sunday earlier in the week. It is a monumental moment for Nikola Vucevic and the country that has struggled in basketball the last few years.
For Montenegro, just advancing to the next round accomplishes their goals for the tournament. Their 3-2 record included an upset victory over the Czech Republic to clinch that spot.
Big win and huge success for us to qualify for the next round for the first time ever!
