\nIsrael Basketball Head Coach Oded Katash<\/strong> spoke ahead of today\u2019s game, \u201cThere\u2019s a good feeling as the National Team is playing well and there is positive energy. We are going to face a team with excellent shooters at the highest levels and they know how to combine their bigs and post ups, it will be very tough. We will have to switch defenses, deal with the post which will be a difficult test.\u201d<\/p>\n
