Chema buceta names unchanged 12-player roster for portugal showdown
Great Britain Women’s Head Coach Chema Buceta has confirmed an unchanged 12-player roster to face Portugal in Manchester in the final game of EuroBasket 2023 Qualifying on Sunday afternoon (4pm).
It is a decisive game for both Great Britain and Portugal on their road to qualify for EuroBasket 2023 in Israel and Slovenia this summer, with both sides needing a win that will put them in prime position to book their place in the competition.
Buceta’s side head into the game off the back of a 100-45 win over Estonia in Manchester on Thursday night, with Portugal having tasted victory on home soil as well against Greece, so confidence will be high for both teams but GB are ready for battle as they look to secure their spot at EuroBasket and end the campaign on a high.
