Spain will take on the Netherlands in the 2025 EuroBasket World Cup Qualifiers on November 14. With a victory in Italy, Spain took exclusive possession of the first place in the group, while Georgia now holds the power to decide who finishes third. The FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 is yet unqualified, but Ukraine is still in the running. The most important match in the group so far was between Italy and Spain, but Iceland’s match was almost as thrilling since the hosts were denied the opportunity to put two games between themselves and Georgia. Ukraine overcame the already-out Holland team. To the spot where it all started, Sergio Scariolo went back. The maestro began his coaching career at Pesaro in the late 1980s, when Italy hosted Scariolo’s Spain there.
He came back doing what he usually does, winning, 35 years later. Throughout the whole game, Spain and Italy exchanged punches, and in the fourth quarter, the outcome was on the line. With 35 seconds remaining in the fourth, Marco Spissu made a three-pointer to give Italy a one-point lead, but Jaime Fernandez answered with a three of his own to give Spain a two-point advantage once more. Then, with eight seconds left in the third quarter, Nico Mannion managed to elude Spain’s defense and make an easy layup to tie the score at 70 all. This gave Joel Parra one more opportunity to attack the basket. As time ran out in overtime, the righty hook attempted by the lefty forward did not connect.
