Bahamas has never sent its men’s basketball team to the Olympics. The island nation is one step closer to changing that.
Eric Gordon scored 27 points, Buddy Hield added 17 and Bahamas stunned Argentina 82-75 to win one of the five Olympic pre-qualifying tournaments that were wrapping up around the world Sunday.
Cameroon was an 80-74 winner over Senegal to win in Nigeria; Bahrain finished 5-0 in a tournament in Syria; Croatia got 22 points and 11 rebounds to beat Turkey in another final; and Poland got past Bosnia and Herzegovina 76-72 for its qualifying berth.
