Fantastic performance by Nigeria to secure the third berth. Aminu and Diogu played their hearts out.
With the Dominicans coming so close you really have to question Calipari's decision to cut Charlie Villanueva. I don't know what Villanueva did to piss him off but it looks like Calipari's ego got the best of him. It is hard to think that even if Villanueva wasn't 100%, a limited role off of the bench might have made the difference between a trip to London and a long flight home.
