A great achievement for Israel's cadet team, which advanced tonight (Tuesday) to the quarter-finals of the European Championship after an 84:96 victory over Serbia, which guaranteed the team a place in Tier A in the next championship as well.
Sharon Abrahami's team, which advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2006, will meet the Greek team tomorrow (Wednesday, 22:00) in the last eight.
It was a huge performance by the star of the team Ben Sharaf who took the team on his back to the great achievement.
Sharaf was one assist away from a triple double and finished with 28 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists.
What a difference in ability between the defeat to Lithuania at the end of the group stage and the ability in the current game.
The Serbs led in the first half, but the turning point came in the third quarter which Israel won 15:28 and from there continued to the impressive victory.
Along with Sharaf's ability, an excellent defensive game caused the Serbs to lose 20.
The excellent Omar Meir finished with 20 points and Ariel Sela with 16 points and 13 rebounds.
