The result means that the Standard Life sponsored team will finish second in Group B European Championship B Division tournament and will now face Israel in the quarter-final on Friday, but Jennings had no complaints about the result:

"Today we were beaten by a better team, but I do feel we gave them too much to feed upon" said Jennings.

"They scored 26 points from our turnovers, and unfortunately much of those scores took place closing quarters.

"The momentum created from these situation had us struggling to kill their runs. We started the game well, even under extreme pressure from the Czech guards, but we slipped in the second [period].

"The third period demonstrated the strength of character we do hold in the team squeezing the margin to three points, but once again we over-helped and the Czech guards began to hit their perimeter looks.

"There is much to learn from our performance and the Division A benchmark the Czech's set today."
