Basketball: Death or glory for Britain

Great BRITAIN'S men have been handed a "Group of Death" in the draw for the Eurobasket Finals in Lithuania later this year.

Coach Chris Finch's team will face the defending champions Spain, Turkey and hosts Lithuania, the last two being the second and third finishers respectively in last year's World Championships in Turkey, plus Poland and one of the additional qualifiers.

Faced with such daunting opposition, it will be an extremely tough test for the GB side to reach the later stages.
