GB Basketball


Recommended Posts

Probably the most disappointing missed quota this cycle was with the women's basketball team but perhaps already indications British Basketball are beginning to turn their attention to LA '28.

 

It looks like they are finally putting together a 3x3 program. Martin Dyan has been announced as the new 3x3 programme manager with GB entering the 2024 FIBA Europe Cup and the 2024 U23 Nations League for both men and women. 

 

In July, GB women will be competing against Germany and GB men will be against South Sudan in London as part of an event that will also see the US squad competing in the city as part of their Olympic preparation.

Some updates on the performance of the junior squads over the FIBA European Championships.
 

In terms of the Men:

U20s (Division B) placed 8th out of 20 in 2023. This year placed 12th in out of 21. Previously used to compete in the top flight, but withdrew in 2020/21.

 

U18s (Division B) placed 5th out of 22 in 2023. This year placed 19th out of 22. Previously used to compete in the top flight, but withdrew in 2020/21.

 

U16s (Division B) placed 10th out of 21 in 2023. Competition is ongoing, GB currently has a 1 Win - 2 Loss scorecard, with matches coming up:

12 August - :GBR v  :ROU

13 August - :GBR v  :NOR

 

Unlikely to progress to the quarter finals, but  will aim to finish 3rd or 4th in the group to progress to the 9th-16th classification playoffs. 

 

In terms of the Women: 

U20s (Division B) placed 12th out of 17 in 2023. This year placed 7th out of 15. 

 

U18s (Division B) placed 12th out of 18 in 2023. This year placed 6th out of 18. 

 

U16s (Division B) placed 6th out of 20 in 2023. Competition starts this week, with the following matches: 

16 August - :GBR v :BIH

17 August - :GBR v :EST

19 August - :GBR v :LTU

20 August - :GBR v :ISL

 

All matches are streamed on YouTube. 

 

Away from the junior squads, the Team GB women will shortly be in action for the 2026 Women’s Basketball World Cup Pre-Qualifying. The fixtures as follows:

19 August - :GBR v :ARG

21 August - :GBR v :LBN

22 August - :GBR v :RWA

 

The top two in the pool progress to the semi finals. The top ranked team then progresses to the qualifying tournament for the World Cup. 

 

The Team GB 3x3 men are making their debut at the Europe Cup next week. They have a very tough pool with France and Latvia. Pool stage matches are taking place on 22 August.

Another disappointing result for GB's women's team as they lose their opener in the world cup pre qualifier 53-47 to :ARG.

 

Given Argentina are ranked 10 places lower than us it's a match that we would have expected to win.

I see the British domestic competition has been confirmed as SuperLeague Basketball. Nine clubs, with Plymouth pulling out. All a bit embarrassing but probably the only sensible answer to the 777 debacle, in the short term anyway. The only light at the end of the tunnel is that ice hockey went through something similar with Sekonda superLeague, and its replacement EIHL has become a reasonable product that actually got GB Ice Hockey moving upwards a bit.

More :GBR basketball action this week with the men's 3x3 team (:clap:we actually have a team now:clap:) competing in the 3x3 Europe Cup in Vienna this week. 

 

They've got a tough group - they will take on Olympic silver medalists :FRA and Olympic 4th placed :LAT - but it will be interesting to see how they measure up against the more established teams.

:GBR men's 3x3 finish their pool games with 1 win and 1 loss. They suffered a bit of a collapse against :FRA to go down 21-14 before sneaking out a 21-20 win against :LAT.

 

May be enough to see them progress to the quarter-finals if :FRA can defeat :LAT in the final pool game. :yikes:

    • I`m a traditionalist and I like alpine skiing competitions in the morning hours, illuminated by the sun In ski jumping this is practically non-existentthis in contrast the early 21st century (It's nice that at least there's Planica at the end of every season). There are also traditional competitions under artificial lights, like in Schladming or Madonna di Campiglio. There's no need to do the same thing everywhere as in ski jumping. Alpine skiing finals are rarely super exciting, because usually everything is clear and the skiers are tired from the long season. Finals were often canceled, so this year it was okay for me. If someone wanted a spectacle, that's what the Olympics Games or the World Cup in Kitzbuchel.

    • Baffling scheduling again. It's like FIS want to drive people away.    It's the Finals, on paper your big conclusion to the season, yet it feels like "let's get this over with". Just compare how the ATP treat their finals with this.   Ok, you want to have the GS & SL on Tuesday/Wednesday. That's fine, i've been advocating for more mid-week starts to begin with. But why, oh why do you have them in the middle of the day, on a work week.  Why aren't you having them in the evening, in prime time, when people are off work. Make it a big special event, which people want to visit and not during the day in front of a 100 fans. It's not that hard to choose a place with some floodlights.     And even this week we don't have Champion League football, so the night is free from big competition. Perfect opportunity to have alpine skiing on TV right now, but noooo.
