Vasilis Spanoulis’s team needed a victory by 3+ points from Svetislav Pesic’s team against South Sudan in the last match of Group C to qualify as the second-best third, and that exactly happened. Specifically, Serbia defeated Roy Ivy’s squad 96-85, eliminating them from further competition and giving Greece the opportunity to advance to the quarter-finals.
There, Greece will face Germany on Tuesday at 12 noon, which topped Group B with three wins in as many games. Remember that the two teams had also met in the quarter-finals of EuroBasket 2022 in Berlin. At that time, our National Team lost 107-96 to Gordon Herbert’s team, which triumphed a year later, clinching the gold medal at MundoBasket 2023.
