BRITAIN GET TOUGH HOME TEST
Great Britain’s men will face stiff opposition in London this summer at the six-team Olympic Test event.
MVP can reveal that Chris Finch’s side will meet Serbia, Croatia, France, Australia and China at the tournament, which takes place at the 2012 Basketball venue from August 16-21.
“We wanted to bring in five world-class teams, not just from Europe but to get a different for different styles in preparation for next year,” said Finch, who will use the round robin event as a warm-up for Eurobasket 2011.
“Certainly if we’re in the Olympics, that will help. It’s an added bonus that the tournament in London mimics the tournament in Lithuania.”
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.
