U19 FIBA Basketball World Cup

Iran pulls an 81-68 upset over Puerto Rico to close out the group stage and ultimately avoids a round of 16 matchup with Canada

Piter Girgoorian led Iran with 24 points and 5 rebounds

I believe Iran will now face Group A 2nd place team Lithuania

[PrinceAli]

Had Iran scored just 3 more points they would’ve finished 2nd in the group, but this outcome is likely better as they would’ve had to face a more athletic and physical Senegal team

[Nokhodi]

I just learned Iran wasn’t even supposed to be at this tournament and was only invited because China withdrew. Funny how sports works like that sometimes.

Lithuania is a powerhouse in basketball. Don't think we will beat them.
Already 5/0 btw

[PSGman#19]

Lithuania has 0 mercy for us..

FT lithuania 96/53 Iran. We are out but at least it is a good experience compared to the traditional asian tokhmi opponent
