Great Britain Senior Men’s Prep Schedule Revealed

British Basketball have announced the Great Britain Senior Men’s full preparation schedule ahead of Eurobasket 2017 in September.

Along with the previously announced home warm-up against Greece at The Copper Box, Joe Prunty’s side will head to Greece and Poland for tournaments, and then Israel for a single contest.

The full line up of preparation tournaments and games are as follows;

7th-8th of August: Tournament (GB, Greece, Romania, & Ukraine) Patras, Greece.
13th August: GB vs Israel, Tel Aviv, Israel.
19th August: GB vs Greece, Copper Box Arena, London, England – Tickets here.
24th- 26th August: Tournament (GB, Poland, Hungary and Israel) Warsaw, Poland.

“We’ve got good preparation time and we’re ready to go,” Dan Clark commented. “There will be some tough opponents, in particular Greece, having had such strong successes, particularly in past EuroBasket tournaments.”

Clark was cautious, but optimistic about Great Britain’s chances in Istanbul: “It’s well documented that our group will be difficult and it’s a tough tournament. The depth of teams in Europe is very strong, however the team and I are really looking forward to it. We’re prepared and we’ve been working with Joe (Prunty) for a while now and could bring up a few surprises.”

GB were drawn in Group D for EuroBasket 2017 where they will go up against Russia, Serbia, Latvia, Belgium and group hosts, Turkey, in Istanbul, opening up on September 1 versus Belgium.

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.
