Сборная Украины пробилась на Евробаскет-2017Team Evgeny Murzin, despite the defeat from Slovenia in the final qualifying match, still next year will perform at the European championship.

Ukraine was one of the first to have completed the qualifying round – the “blue-yellow” in their group finished on the second position. Had to wait for the final matches in the other groups and classifications were clearly not in favor of our team, which had a negative difference of points (297:300).

Only thanks to the incredible coincidence of the results of the Ukrainian team in the fourth consecutive time will play in the final stage of the European championship. Yevgeny Murzin and his team should thank Germany (the defeat of the Netherlands by a margin of 31 points), Portugal (victory over Belarus), Poland (defeat Estonia by a margin of 31 points) and Austria, to prevent the defeat of 20 points from Denmark.

From group B depended the fate of the national team of Ukraine. Austria held on for third position and did not allow the Netherlands to improve the points difference and move Ukraine to fourth place, for “blue-yellow” automatically meant an end to the struggle, because Georgia when all hands would have been above the Ukrainians, and the rest at the Eurobasket 2017 became Dutch.

In addition to Ukraine from 31 August to 17 September Eurobasket-2017 will play Turkey, Romania, Finland and Israel (all – hosts), Spain, Lithuania, France, Serbia, Greece, Italy, Czech Republic, Latvia, Croatia (due to successful performances at Eurobasket 2015), Russia, Belgium, Hungary, Germany, Poland, Slovenia, Montenegro, Hungary, Iceland, Britain, Georgia and Ukraine (all – winners qualification).
