GB qualify for EuroBasket Women with Denmark victory

By Sam Neter on February 9, 2025

The Great Britain Senior Women qualified for this summer’s FIBA Women’s EuroBasket 2025 with a resounding 75-58 win over Denmark in Gentofte on Sunday afternoon.

It was arguably GB’s most complete performance throughout their Group D odyssey, ahead from start from finish, leading by as many as 27 points and playing together.

There was a minor fourth quarter blip, but by that point, Great Britain were almost in cruise control anyway, finishing the campaign with a 4-2 record and a plus/minus of +114 to finish as one of the best runners-up in the Qualifiers.

Hannah Jump was outstanding, going 4/8 from three-point land for her 20 points. Savannah Wilkinson was consistent as ever, with 13 points and nine rebounds and Kirsty Brown shot 5/6 from the field for 12.

“We knew coming in that this was a must win situation for us,” Jump said afterwards.

“I think we stuck together really well, especially coming off our last game [against Estonia]. We took everything we learned from that and put it into today.

“We put ourselves in the best position possible, I’m super excited about EuroBasket and showing the world what GB basketball is all about.”

Julianna Okosun recorded a double-double of 15 points and 13 rebounds to lead Denmark, matched by Sarah Mortensen’s 15.

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.
