The England Under-16s’ hopes to avoid relegation suffered a major setback on Tuesday as they suffered an 83-69 loss to Slovenia at the Division A European Championships in Lithuania.

Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye finished 2 assists shy of a triple double with 13 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists, Joe Mvuezolo led the team in scoring with 16 points and 9 rebounds, whilst Theo Oghide had a 13 point, 14 rebound double double.

England will now play Russia, who remain undefeated in the classification group, on Wednesday afternoon.

Box score.

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.
