GB U20s to play for 7th after Netherlands loss

By Sam Neter on July 15, 2023

Great Britain Under-20 men will be playing for 7th after a 78-82 defeat at the hands of Netherlands on Saturday afternoon.

Down three with 28 seconds remaining and possession, GB missed back to back three-point attempts from Rory Stewart and Zamoku Weluche-Ume, as the Netherlands would seal the game at the line.

Lane Campbell led GB with 20 points, five rebounds and six assists, James Okonkwo had 18 points, while Weluche-Ume added 11.

GB will now await the loser of Portugal-Switzerland this afternoon.

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.
