FULL GAME: GB Under-20s v Germany – Quarter-Finals

By Bradley Gains on July 18, 2019

Great Britain Under-20s compete in the quarter-finals of the FIBA Under-20 European Championships Division A for the first time when they face Germany in Tel-Aviv, this afternoon.

Karl Brown’s side pulled off the upset of Serbia in the Round of 16 on Wednesday having gone 0-3 in the group phase, but are assured of retaining their Division A status for next summer.

🇬🇧 @hosanakitenge35 joined Richard McNutt (2006), @Dan00Clark (2007), Raphell Thomas-Edwards (2013) & @Kavell6ft11 (2015) in recording 15 rebounds for @gbbasketball at #FIBAU20Europe.

Only @CWheatle57 has more in a single game with 18 in 2017.

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.
