Teams Preview
France Preview
In a stunning upset at EuroBasket 2025, France was defeated 80-70 by Georgia. From the opening quarter, France struggled to find rhythm, trailing 24-20 and failing to establish control throughout the game.
Sylvain Francisco led the French team, scoring 14 points, while Guerschon Yabusele added 12 points and Mouhammadou Jaiteh added 10 points and 7 rebounds.
Offensively, the French team struggled, shooting just 35.2% from the field, including a poor 16.7% from the three point line. Defensively, France failed to protect the board, losing 30-20 in defensive rebounds and allowed Georgia to shoot 55.6% from the perimeter.
While the loss is disappointing, it also serves as a wake-up call. France remains a top contender for World Cup qualification, but they must address the weaknesses Georgia exposed to ensure smooth progression through the first round of European Qualifiers in Group G.
Belgium Preview
Belgium closed out their EuroBasket 2025 campaign in dramatic fashion, edging Poland 70‑69 thanks to a last‑second heroics.
Emmanuel Lecomte was the bright spot for Belgium, who led the scoring with 19 points, while Hans Vanwijn supported with 10 points and 7 rebounds. Support from the bench players also proved decisive.
Offensively, Belgium shot an efficient 41.8% from the field, including 40.7% from deep and 65% from the free throw line. Defensively, they held Poland to just 16% shooting from the perimeter and recorded 6 blocks and 4 steals. On the boards, they won the defensive rebounds (25-24), but lost out on the offensive rebounds (13-10).
Despite the early exit from the EuroBasket 2025, this win against Poland serves as a confidence booster and a learning opportunity. The team enters the 2027 European Qualifiers with momentum but must tighten defense and maintain consistency to navigate a challenging Group G successfully.
