Great result for Greece. The right teams are in the quarterfinals. I probably would have predicted New Zealand over Angola but that isn't too much of an upset.
Predictions for the semifinals? Nothing too shocking from me, Greece vs. Russia, Lithuania vs. Dominican Republic. With that said I would love to see a Lithuania vs. FYROM rematch from last year's Eurobasket.
Calling FYROM vs. Dominican Republic a push, I think that Puerto Rico is best positioned for an upset. They have been playing well. I cannot see Nigeria shooting the lights out against Greece like they did against Lithuania. The odds are not on their side and Angola shouldn't pose any threat at all to Russia.
