Has a dark horse debutante emerged?

Germany have enjoyed their first steps at the FIBA U17 Women's Basketball World Cup and may be about to prove themselves as a dark horse in the competition.

Mailien Rolf was exceptional again with 15 points and 14 rebounds.

The reality check

                                  France brought day one winners and European rivals Slovenia back down to earth on day two

Slovenia grabbed a big chunk of the limelight after their epic overtime success on their debut in the competiton against Australia. However, their second outing served up a major reality check after they were taken apart 93-56 in Group B by France. A slow start didn't help, with France terrific from downtown and making 8 of 15. Tea Cleante was also a huge factor, amassing 19 points, while Ramouna Vitta also shot the ball brilliantly for her 14 points.

Eyes towards the podium
