"There is no offseason"

Centrobasket March 24th-28th

by

Centrobasket started on Wednesday in San Salvador as Cuba was not able to make it, leaving five teams playing and giving players a rest from the planned five games in five days format.  Puerto Rico has been named AmeriCup hosts so the top three finishers besides them will join them in June, meaning that only the last place team will not advance.  Puerto Rico is without their European-based players and received a further blow with two veterans unavailable, but the US Virgin Islands, which has good players, but frequently struggles to field a full roster, certainly was not going to sympathize.  Anisha George had a fantastic game for them, but Puerto Rico did enough in the fourth quarter to win 73-69.  The absence of other contending teams meant that the biggest game of the tournament was probably the first day nightcap.  Aida Funes and El Salvador started well at home, but Silvia Betancourt and Costa Rica fought back before falling short 84-79.  On Thursday, Taylor Jones led the US Virgin Islands past Costa Rica 81-51.  The Dominican Republic was the last team to make their debut and Elemy Colome led them against rivals Puerto Rico, which did get one of their players back on their way to a 99-90 win behind Jada Stinson.

The rest of the standings started to take shape on Friday as an Imani Tate triple-double helped the US Virgin Islands get past the Dominican Republic 81-76.  Puerto Rico was at full strength for the first time and beat El Salvador 75-33.  Saturday started with Puerto Rico beating Costa Rica 79-39.  The Dominican Republic took care of business with an 82-58 win over El Salvador.  On Sunday, Costa Rica needed a win to grab the last spot in the Americas-wide tournament and fought hard against Yohanna Morton and the Dominican Republic, but lost 68-63.  El Salvador had the chance to grab another win at home and show that they can at least be dangerous this summer, but a good game from Emily Tevez was not enough as Anisha George and Imani Tate got the US Virgin Islands an 80-68 win to close out the event.

EuroBasket 2021 Draw Results

by

The draw for this summer’s competition was conducted on Monday: Video

Before the event, the two hosts got to pick one country for their location.  The choice was given to facilitate better ticket sales, which of course is still slightly up in the air at this point with more than three months to go until tipoff.  France did pick nearby Belgium, which had the added effect of setting a major part of the bracket as the other top seed Serbia was then fixed into Spain’s other group.  Assuming that those top seeds win those groups, the potential late round matchups between them would be clear.  Spain opted to go in a different direction, possibly identifying Slovakia as the perceived weakest team and choosing them as their group mate.

With those aspects of the draw already chosen, the rest of the teams were drawn into the vacant places.  Spain also faces Sweden and Belarus in a group that should not provide them much challenge.  Serbia has Italy, neighbors Montenegro, and Greece in their group.  In France, Belgium’s group includes Slovenia, Turkey, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.  The hosts drew Russia, the Czech Republic, and Croatia.  After the three game round-robin, the bottom team in each group will be eliminated while the winner gets a bye to the quarterfinals.  The first knockout round and the quarterfinals will also be played in Valencia and Strasbourg so teams from groups A and B and teams from groups C and D will play each other in those stages.  The quarterfinal teams in France will have two days off to travel to Spain for their last games and that will be when teams will cross over to play the teams from the other location.

Group A:

Slovenia finished off a perfect run at home in Ljubljana with 96-59 win over Hildur Kjartansdottir and Iceland behind Eva Lisec.  Greece received a massive advantage from the scheduling, knowing the final margin they would need in a victory to claim the last spot and they did just enough with a dramatic late three-point play to qualify by a single point in differential.

Group E:

There was only one game in this group in Istanbul that had no bearing on qualification, but Serbia did finish a perfect campaign with a 96-61 win over Lithuania.  Hosts Turkey had to watch the other games with a bye in this round and their differential ended up being enough to qualify.

Group G:

Early in Matosinhos, Liudmyla Naumenko and Alina Iagupova were firing together for Ukraine as they were looking for a win by big margin.  That momentum slowed down later in the game as Awak Kuier and Finland managed to play spoiler with a 91-75 final margin not giving Ukraine the big win that they needed.  The other game had no impact and Emma Meesseman and Belgium held on to a 69-66 win over hosts Portugal to finish with a perfect record.

Group H:

Slovakia had the advantage of playing the last game at home in Piestany.  Netherlands simply needed a win, but it was the hosts that prevailed 61-50, creating a three-way tie and coming out on top of it.  Hungary was in second place, but was powerless to further help their cause and had to watch as teams pulled ahead of them and leave them out of the tournament.

Group I:

Both teams still had a chance in this group as Anete Steinberga and Latvia had the advantage by being home in Riga.  Germany’s blistering start to the campaign ended with a wimper as the hosts won 78-57 to flip the numerical advantage to a much better place, but they were left as the last team out when Greece’s last point fell.

EuroBasket Qualifiers Game 5 February 3rd-4th

by

February 3, 2021

Group F:

The absence of Belarus in the last window meant that they had an extra game this time, which was played on Wednesday ahead of the rest of the round on Thursday.  The teams traveled to Riga with Latvia hosting the group as a neutral site.  Marissa Kastanek led Poland to a 68-56 win to stave off elimination.

This group continued play in Riga with Great Britain knowing that a win would seal qualification.  Temi Fagbenle was strong in the paint, but they could not get the points that they needed late and Belarus won 65-57.  They can now seal the top spot by avenging their loss to Poland, but a Poland win would send the group to tiebreakers.

Group I:

North Macedonia withdrew from play so there was only game in the group in Riga.  Germany was missing its two biggest names so Luisa Geiselsoder picked up the slack, but Iva Slonjsak and Ivana Dojkic paced Croatia in an 80-66 win that secured their qualification.

Group A:

Bulgaria stayed alive on Crete with Borislava Hristova leading them past Sara Hinriksdottir and Iceland 74-53.  Anna Stamolamprou and Greece were not able to get the home win, falling to Shante Evans and Slovenia 77-70.  Slovenia has not officially qualified, but is in good shape.

Group C:

The first game in Sarajevo was at the bottom of the group and Charlotte Kohler helped Switzerland keep Estonia winless 63-60.  Bosnia and Herzegovina was looking to repeat the result from the corresponding away game and got a good game from Jonquel Jones, but Raisa Musina and Russia came back in the second half for a 72-68 win, also flipping the tiebreaker back in their favor.

Group E:

The timely naturalization of Yvonne Anderson proved critical for Serbia as they prevailed in a wild 83-76 double overtime win over Turkey in Istanbul.  A perfect record is still not enough to have officially qualified, but they are in good shape.

Group F:

Belarus was unable to play, so this group only had one game in Istanbul.  Poland had a new naturalized player, but Great Britain rolled to a 77-49 win.  How standings will work in this group still depends on how Belarus is handled.

Hungary nearly completed the comeback in Amsterdam, but the Netherlands managed to hang on to a 68-63 win.  All the teams were tied at 1-1 entering the game so the hosts now take the advantage going into the last window.

Group I:

Andzelika Mitrasinovik had an impressive game for North Macedonia, but Laura Hebecker and Germany rallied in the second half to win 74-59 in Riga.  Elina Babkina and hosts Latvia managed to avoid dropping another game at home, getting past Ivana Dojkic and Croatia 83-69.  That leaves Croatia and Germany tied at 3-1 and Latvia behind them at 2-2 with a pair of games left to play.

Group D:

This group played games on Sunday in Riga.  Maria Jespersen helped Denmark record a rare win 91-74 over Romania.  That result meant that the Czech Republic could clinch with a win and Katerina Elhotova tried to fire them to qualification, but Beatrice Attura emerged for Italy to get them a 69-63 win.
