Box Score

ATHENS -- Former Rhody guard Parfait Bitee, starring for his native Cameroon, scored 14 points and dished out six assists in a 93-79 loss to Croatia in the opening game of the 2008 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament, being held in Athens, Greece.

Bitee was 5-for-12 from the floor, including 2-of-6 from the perimeter. Cameroon - coached by former URI standout Lazare Adingono - was led by Harding Nana's 24 points. Cyrill Makanda was the only other Cameroon player in double digits, with 11 points. Former Georgetown center Ruben Boumtje Boumtje had a team-high 10 rebounds.

Cameroon will face Puerto Rico on July 15 in the second of two preliminary round games.

The FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament for men will round out the 12-team field for the upcoming 2008 Summer Games in Beijing. Nine teams have earned berths: Angola, Argentina, Australia, China, Iran, Lithuania, Russia, Spain and the United States.
