Day 5: Dreams of U17 Women's Basketball World Cup ready to be realized
BOURGES - Double delight awaits at the FIBA U16 Women's European Championship 2017 via Semi-Finals and FIBA U17 Women's Basketball World Cup 2017 tickets.
BOURGES (FIBA U16 Women's European Championship 2017) - Double delight awaits at the FIBA U16 Women's European Championship 2017 via Semi-Finals and FIBA U17 Women's Basketball World Cup 2017 tickets.
Whoever emerges victorious from Wednesday's Quarter-Finals will edge nearer the podium steps, but perhaps most importantly, seal a coveted place at next year's prestigious global event in Minsk.
Spain are now three wins away from defending their crown and will play Italy in a repeat of last year's Semi-Finals tie. Both teams like to play high-tempo ball and so it should be particularly intense.
France will want to avoid an upset against Poland and will look to utilize their impressive athleticism and returns from turnovers. They are hopeful that Zoe Wadoux will be back after being rested as a precaution against Romania.
Latvia and Germany will see a great dual between two in-form frontcourt players in Laura Meldere and Emily Bessoir, while the team-orientated styles of Russia and Hungary suggest a nice match-up too.
In the fight to stay in Division A, four nations can guarantee survival by taking wins on Wednesday in the Classification Round.
