CALAIS (FIBA World Championship) - Tunisia clearly have plenty of work left to do in the final weeks before the FIBA World Championship after they suffered a heavy defeat to Finland.
Tunisia went down 92-68 to a team who failed to qualify for the worlds but are instead gearing up for their own EuroBasket 2011 qualifying campaign.
Although Tunisia showed flashes, the result clearly indicates the amount of ground they still have to make up.
However, Finland coach Pekka Salminen said the scoreline did not tell the full story.
"It wasn't an easy win," Salminen said. "Tunisia played good basketball." Tunisia have been drawn in Group B at the FIBA World Championship with the United States, Slovenia, Croatia, Brazil and Iran.
