While there’s only one ticket up for grabs in the European Qualifiers and Bosnia and Herzegovina is out, the Balkan team signed off with a statement victory over Bulgaria and a huge performance by Edin Atic.
The 22-year-old combo guard finished with a huge performance of 29 points, nine rebounds, and five assists! The nation may have failed to qualify, though this will be a night to remember for them.
