<title>Leo Rautins: Is it all his fault?</title>
<link>http://basketballbuzz.ca/international/leo-rautins-is-it-all-his-fault/forward/2923/</link>
<description><![CDATA[ in the one step forward, two steps back habit of basketball in Canada, the first men’s national team to make it to the world championships in eight years is very likely to return home without a win.

The Canadians fell to 0-4 on Wednesday, after perhaps their most uninspired effort in a 71-61 loss to New Zealand (the surprise team of the tournament, it should be noted). They finish out group play Thursday in Turkey against powerhouse Spain, who are having its own struggles, but should have little problem swatting an overmatched Canadian team.

Canada blew three second-half leads leading up to Wednesday, missing golden chances to assert itself against Lebanon and upset Lithuania and France in a tournament in which two wins would have likely meant advancement to the round of 16 – a reasonable high-water mark.

Gifting away hard-earned leads and boneheaded moments like the final sequence Wednesday when Canada turned a fast-break basket into a turnover and then let 30 seconds burn off the clock before intentionally fouling make blaming head coach Leo Rautins eas ]]></description>

<title>McMaster Marauders land 6-9 forward Scott Brittain</title>
<link>http://basketballbuzz.ca/cis/mcmaster-marauders-land-6-9-forward-scott-brittain/forward/2921/</link>
<description><![CDATA[ No doubt some keen observers took note that 6-foot-9 Scott Brittain, a former Canadian junior national team member who sat out last season at Boston University due to concussion issues.

Lo and behold, it was just announced the Oakville, Ont., native, who started 74 games in three seasons for the Terriers in the mid-major America East conference, is coming to Mac. First-year coach Amos Connolly has also added 6-foot-1 combo guard Kenan Etale, who previously played at Houghton (N.Y.) College.

Brittain, 22, is an all-Canadian candidate if healthy. There's a high-risk, high-reward element due to the concussions, but his body of work at Boston U (he averaged 8.4 points, 5.7 rebounds in three seasons on 47% shooting) suggests it is worth taking a shot. There is also some thought the Marauders' highly touted young big, Taylor Black, should be able to tap into Brittain's experience. ]]></description>
