Koufos, Greece advance to Euro semifinals
Kosta Koufos' chances of returning home with a medal increased Friday as Greece edged Turkey 76-74 in overtime in the European championships quarterfinals. Greece advances to play Spain in a Saturday semifinal and clinched a spot at next year's world championships in Turkey with the victory. Koufos did not play - - he has been battling stomach flu/food poisoning in recent days - - and Greece shortened its rotation to nine players for the game. Vassilis Spanoulis had 23 points for Greece and hit two three-pointers in overtime. Led by Pau Gasol's 28 points and nine rebounds, Spain crushed France 86-66 in its quarterfinal.
