SCOTLAND FALL SHORT OF BRONZE

By on April 15, 2018

Scotland’s men missed out on Commonwealth bronze after a 79-69 defeat to New Zealand.

The Tall Blacks pulled away with a 10-0 run in the third quarter and although the Scots had a strong late rally, they fell short of a medal.

“We came out here to medal, we didn’t achieve that, but like I said, I’m so proud of the guys,” said Kieron Achara. “What we brought to this tournament, being underdogs, we had that grit, we had that determination, we all made our country proud.

“I just believed that we had it.”

Scotland were led by 13 points from Jonny Bunyan.

Australia crushed Canada 87-47 to take gold.

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.
