LIVE STREAM: GB U18s v Albania – #FIBAU18Europe

Check out the live stream as GB Under-18s take on Albania in their final group game at the European Championships at 11:45am.

Alan Keane’s side are currently 3-1 in Group A having bounced back from their first defeat by beating Luxembourg yesterday.

Albania have lost all four games with a -117 points difference so while defeat is very unlikely, GB will not want to take anything for granted as they aim for a strong finish to the group stage.

Scenarios:

GB WIN = advance to the quarter-finals

If GB win, they are guaranteed to make the last eight. They will top the group even if SWE + NED both win* OR if only NED win, but will finish second if only SWE win as a result of the head-to-heads.

GB 1-1 (+9), NED 1-1 (-3) SWE 1-1 (-6) – *if all three teams finish 4-1

GB LOSS = dependant on other results

If GB lose, they will miss out on the last eight if NED defeated Luxembourg, but would progress if they also lost.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
