Five games and five victories. France finished as the best team of the U-20 Turgut Atakol Tournament, held in Istanbul (Turkey), after remaining unbeaten, winning over Latvia, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine and the Czech Republic, the only squad in the event that will compete this summer in Division "B". French beat the hosts in the vital contest (54-58) behind Florida (NCAA) Wilfried Yeguete ('91), who had 16 points and 6 rebounds, while the other two games of the last journey were the victories of Latvia over Ukraine (78-76) and Russia over the Czech Republic (83-79) despite a crazy game from center Ondrej Balvin ('92), with 25 points. Turkish Furkan Aldemir ('91) -declared NBA Draft early entry but retired after- was selected the MVP of the event.
