Carlos Payano (195-F/G-70, college: Dowling) (195-F/G-70, college:
Dowling)'s three-pointer with four seconds left gave the Dominicans the
final advantage in a see-saw battle with Mexico. The DR led 89-85 with 2:10
remaining, but five straight free throws by Omar Quintero (182-G-81) put
Mexico back on top. After the Dominican republic reclaimed the lead on two
"Grillo" Vargas free throws, Horacio
Horacio
Llamas (211-C-73) (211-C-73), who had struggled all night (6/19 FG, 7
turnovers), hit a three to put Mexico ahead 93-91 and set up Payano's
heroics. Mexico will regret their 25 turnovers, which offset a 36-22
rebounding edge. The Dominicans will get a chance at revenge in the
final--they have unfinished business with both Puerto Rico (96-60 defeat on

David David
Crouse (211-F/C-74, college:
USC)
(211-F/C-74, college: USC) rebounded from a disappointing outing against the
USVI to score 17 points. Leading by just eight points late in the third
quarter (64-56), Mexico went on a 20-11 run to put the game out of reach.
For Costa Rica, Henry Martinez (185-G/F-75) and Clifford Smith (193-G-) were
again a two-man show. Hernold Gardener had a night he would like to forget,
shooting a woeful 2/18 from the field. Mexico and the USVI advance to the
semifinals out of Group A, and also qualify for the Tournament of the
Americas in August.

a free throw with 10 seconds left in overtime to give Mexico a 92-91 win
over the Virgin Islands. The Virgin Islands had sent the game into overtime
on a Kevin Sheppard basket with 10 seconds left in regulation, but missed
several chances to win before the buzzer. In the extra session Mexico pulled
out to a 91-87 lead, but baskets from Sheppard and Marcus Oliver brought the
USVI back again, setting up
Horacio
Llamas (211-C-73)' heroics. Adam
Adam Parada
(213-C-81) contributed some crucial points and rebounds for Mexico down the
stretch. For the Virgin Islands Cuthbert Victor had a double-double but
struggled with 6/19 shooting, and Raja Bell was again disappointing, going
1/9 from the field and turning the ball over 5 times. Both teams clinch
semifinal berths if they win tomorrow.

Mexicans shot over 50% from the field (37/73) and a sparkling 24/26 from the
line. Horacio

Llamas (211-C-73) (211-C-73) added a double-double in his first official
NT game in years. For Antigua, Lennox McCoy (188-G-77, college:

was not enough to keep the islanders in the game.
