Colombia national team started against Argentina in the Odesur games falling 74 43, the national coach idea of start with 3 big men and just two guards did not work and the Argentinas offense took a 20 11 lead at the end of the first quarter.
Colombia switched to a more traditional 3 perimeter and two post up players, but the offensive production keep falling in the second quarter in wich Colombia scored just 2 points in the first 6 minutes to finish with 9 in the period, however the young Leonardo Salazar had his chance to use his quickness to help the team
The second half was not too different Colombia has problems to drive the ball against the Argentinas half court defese and the turnovers start to kill the team soul, the colombian post up players spent too much time far from the basket and the systems did not work to put them in a better situation, Norbey Aragon (194-F/G-78, college: Georgia SW) was the best colombian in the game
Argentina achieved an easy victory against a colombian team that did not had training before.

Colombia 43 - N. Aragon 15 pts, J. Hernandez 7 pts +9 rebounds.
Argentina 74 - N. Romano 17 pts + 13 rebs, F. Campazzo 10 pts.
