To play in front of our parents and families is a big deal, and getting the win makes it even sweeter. We&#8217;re always grateful to wear Canada, but doing it at home means a lot.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thomas Scrubb<\/strong> added 16 points, and <strong>Kyle Wiltjer<\/strong> chipped in 15 points along with five rebounds and four assists.

Head coach <strong>Nathaniel Mitchell<\/strong> expected nothing less.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A real scrappy team. They made some changes and were good off the bounce, so we had to adjust defensively. They hung around all game, but I liked how our group stayed tough and controlled the game regardless of the score.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>win completed a two-game sweep after Canada\u2019s dominant 111\u201375 victory in Nassau<\/strong> last Friday, giving the team a strong start to group play in the Americas bracket. This qualifying window is the <strong>first of six that will roll out over the next 15 months<\/strong> across the four FIBA regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teams move through a mix of home and road games in February and July, and the top three in each group advance. All results carry into the next stage, where six more games in 2026 and 2027 will determine who reaches the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/basketball\/odds\">2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup<\/a> in Doha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Canada currently sits at the top of Group B<\/strong>, which also includes Puerto Rico and Jamaica. After earning its first World Cup bronze medal in 2023 with a win over the United States, expectations around this group continue to rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitchell wasn\u2019t shy about describing the identity he would like for his players to embrace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toughness.
