It was clear that the MVP race was between Halperin and Lorbek and it was Lorbek who received the award thanks to his side's victory in the gold medal game.

Semi-Final - Lithuania 57 Slovenia 97

Slovenia romped into the final of the Trans Eural Gas European Championship for U20 Men by virtue of their demolition of Lithuania in the first semi-final here in Brno.

A lightning quick start from the Slovenians rocked Lithuania to their heels and they were never able to recover. Lithuania have put up 81 ppg here so far in Brno, but suffered today what could only be described as an offensive meltdown, underlined by a 3rd quarter in which they scored only 11 points.
