A disappointing performance for the Canadian National Team.

Marcelo Machado scored a tournament-high 42 points as Brazil downed Canada 105-81 in the FIBA Americas world qualifying tournament, eliminating the Canadians from the competition. Canada (1-3) finished at the bottom of its five-team group, with the top four teams advancing to the quarter-finals.

The loss also means Canada will not play in next year’s world basketball championships in Japan. It’s the first time Canada has failed to qualify for the world championships since 1967.

Levon Kendall finished with 13 points (6-11) 6 rebounds and 3 blocks in that game. A decent final game.

It wasn’t a particularly good tournament for him. He did pretty well in the team’s opening game.
In the second game against USA — which the Canadians actually won — he had 4 fouls, 2 points and 2 rebounds in 20 minutes.

Then in a loss to Panama, it was a 3 rebound 4 point effort in only 16 minutes.

Well he needed to come back to Pitt for the start of classes, I guess.
