Great Britain, Latvia, and Lithuania are in do-or-die situations on the last day of Eurobasket’s preliminary round after all three teams lost their first two games.

Now they must win their third and final game today in order to have a chance in advancing to the next round.

(Discuss Eurobasket Day Three)

In group play, the top three teams in each Group will move on, while the fourth team will be eliminated. France, Greece, Poland, Slovenia, and Turkey have already booked tickets to the next round by virtue of winning their first two games.

• Great Britain nearly upset Spain yesterday and are up against Serbia, the team that shocked Spain on day one,  in their third match. These two teams will face off today with a berth to the next round at stake. If Great Britain loses, they go home, but even if they win; they will have to do so by eight points or more coupled with a Slovenian win over Spain.

• Latvia, led by the frontcourt of Kaspars Kambala and Andris Biedrins, have lost to two tough teams in Russia and France, and will face off against a surprisingly tough, Nowitzki-less German squad today. The game will be played in Warsaw at 19:15 local time.

• Lithuania lost to both hosts Poland and Turkey, and it would be a huge disappointment for the basketball-crazed country if they didn’t make the next round. Lithuania placed third in the 2007 Eurobasket and were and semi-finalists at last year’s Olympics. In their sudden death match, Lithuania plays a winless Bulgarian team today.
