LIVE STREAM: GB Under-18s vs Lithuania (2:15pm) – #FIBAU18Europe

By Sam Neter on August 4, 2018

Watch the Great Britain Under-18s look to make history as they face off against Lithuania in the playoff for 5th-8th place at the Division A European Championship campaign, tipping off at 2:15pm UK time, live from Latvia.

Alan Keane’s side will now play for a best possible finish of 5th – which would still guarantee a historic trip to next year’s FIBA U19 World Cup.

After an impressive opening-day victory over Montenegro on Saturday, Alan Keane’s side were unable to repeat their success, suffering a heavy defeat to Serbia on Sunday, then went down to Lithuania on Tuesday, before an impressive victory over Finland in the Round of 16, and then losing to Latvia in the match-up for a spot in the semi-finals.

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.
