It was a match where coach Matt Van Pelt had a change in the starting lineup when Du Minh An took the place of Vo Kim Ban. The remaining 4 pillars are captains Justin Young, Khoa Tran, Nguyen Huynh Phu Vinh and Dinh Thanh Sang.
Thailand’s basketball team with a naturalized star cast and uniformity in positions should overwhelm the students of coach Matt Van Pelt. Phu Vinh and his teammates also played hard with the spirit of learning and not giving up. Despite losing heavily against the Thai basketball team, the Vietnamese players still won praise and encouragement from the fans.
