S.Korea Qualifies for 2014 Basketball World Cup

South Korea has qualified for the men’s basketball world championship for the first time in 16 years.

South Korea secured its berth to the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain after beating Taiwan 75-57 Sunday at the Asian championship in the Philippines.

Kim Min-koo helped the team win the third-place playoff, scoring 21 points.

Finishing third was enough to secure one of three tickets to the Basketball World Cup.

The two remaining tickets went to Iran and the Philippines, which advanced to the final at the Asian championship.
