EuroBasket 2013: Highlights – GB 68 Ukraine 87

Game highlights footage of Great Britain’s final EuroBasket game after being knocked out by Ukraine, 87-68. Ukraine now progress into the next round of the competition as a result of this victory.

Kieron Achara and Devon Von Oostrum top scored for GB, with 12 points apiece, and despite there not being too much to cheer about tonight after this knockout blow from EuroBasket 2013, British Basketball will be hoping to assess the damage at a later date before no doubt having to fight again to prove to the powers that be at UK Sport, that funding is vital in order for the team’s progression in the future.

The team have showed determination and positivity throughout the week, and while that may not be enough alone to convince UK Sport to help support the sport, the development and experience this competition has provided for the younger talent in the side could be a key factor. That all said, the decision may be down to numbers, figures and formulae, and that, Sports Fans, will be black and white on sheets of A4 with a box for ‘Yes’ and a box for ‘No’.

Let’s just hope, for basketball’s sake, they choose to do the right thing.
