Killian Tillie and his French teammates struggled Saturday, falling to Germany 86-60 Saturday at the FIBA U19 World Cup in Cairo.

Tillie, who will be a sophomore at Gonzaga, finished with eight points on 4-of-8 shooting. He also had three rebounds, two assists and four turnovers in 28 minutes.

France (4-2) couldn’t rebound from Friday’s narrow loss to Canada and suffered its second straight loss. France will face Argentina on Sunday to determine seventh and eighth place.
