Hopes high, the point total was low. In one of the most anticipated games in recent basketball memory. the DR succumbed to the vaunted Puerto Rican national squad, 85-76. Though the DR team has been playing better in recent games, the talent and experience of the Puerto Rican team was too much to handle for the DR. Though Caribbean bragging rights were on hand the bigger prize was a spot in the World Championships in Turkey 2010. Puerto Rico assured its place, but now the DR must win its games against Mexico and Canada to guarantee itself the last spot in the tournament. The DR game against Mexico is scheduled for 3:15pm. Other games are Canada vs. Panama (1pm), Uruguay vs. Brazil (5:30pm) and Puerto Rico vs. Argentina (7:45pm).
