MANILA, Philippines – One has been to the last dance of the FIBA World Cup, the other has never made it this far.
Canada and Serbia dispute a prized spot in the championship game as they lock horns in a sudden death semifinal at the Mall of Asia Arena on Friday, September 8. Reaching the final four for the first time in World Cup history, the Canadians look to extend their stellar run by overcoming a hungry Serbian side seeking to complete its unfinished business after a silver finish in the 2014 edition.
Save for its surprising loss to Brazil in the second round, Canada has been a steady force in this World Cup, winning all of its four games against European squads by an average of 17.5 points., who enters the semifinals with norms of 25 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1.7 steals.
