BEWARE OF TURKEY

Team Turkey's Ersan Ilyasova goes up
for a slam against Slovenia.

Aside from the Americans, only one team remains undefeated in the ongoing knockout stage of the FIBA World Championships. And Team USA hitman Stephen Curry is fully aware of this team. Host Turkey marches into the next round after running over hapless Slovenia, 95-68, to record their seventh straight win without any defeat in the quadrennial event. Curry and the rest of the US Nationals are keeping a close watch of the surprising Turkey squad, according to the Toronto Sun.

“Turkey is playing well and they have those fans behind them. They have a real swagger about them right now. A real confidence and they're showing it. I thought they came out and intimidated France in that game on Saturday. They definitely look good on that other side of the bracket.”
