GB U20s Defeat USA to Complete Tourcoing Tourney

By Sam Neter on June 24, 2014

Great Britain Under-20s finished their first preparation tournament on a high as they defeated the USA team 79-65 at Tournoi Mondial Tourcoing, to finish in seventh position.

Josh McSwiggan had 23 points on 9/14 shooting to lead GB, with Rowell Graham adding 12 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

“Nice team win vs USA to end the tourney,” tweeted Head Coach Doug Leichner after the game. “Definite measurable progression made last few days.”

They will now return to England before heading to Spain to face Greece, Belarus & Spain in their final preparation games before the Division A European Championships.

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.
