Giannis against Luka in a win-or-go-home game? Sign us up! The hosts of the Piraeus OQT enter the Semi-Finals as the only undefeated team in the tournament, but Slovenia showed in the do-or-die clash with New Zealand that they have bounced back for good. It could be epic.

Croatia suffered a shock defeat to New Zealand in Group A but the way things turned out, it proved of no consequence and they topped the group standings. Dominican Republic might have finished second in Group B, behind Greece, but they’ve had the same days of rest as Croatia and they’re not intimidated by the Croat team’s size, as their 13 offensive boards per game demonstrate.

Brazil were undone against Cameroon in their last group outing, so will head into this Semi-Finals game off the back of a loss. However, they will take huge heart from a nice comeback that almost saw them take victory.

It was a similar case for the Philippines who also lost narrowly after they launched a big comeback against Georgia. But Gilas Pilipinas were not to be denied a ticket to the Semi-Finals either and are now ready for what looks like a mouth-watering matchup.

Cameroon will be looking to emulate Gilas Pilipinas in spoiling the party for the tournament favorites. They dug out a tremendous victory against Brazil last time out to make this historic step forward, but can they continue setting even more new landmark achievements?

There will be an incredible atmosphere on Saturday as host nation Latvia try to bounce back from their shock loss to the Philippines and get back on a winning track. Now just two victories away from making it to Paris 2024, the crowd will play a big part as the team looks to find a higher gear again.

Having started the campaign by setting a new Olympic Qualifying Tournament record with a 61-point win against Bahrain, Italy fell at the hands of Puerto Rico on Thursday to end up on the same side of the bracket as Lithuania, who won both of their games in Group A. Only one of the European powerhouses will have a chance to play for the ticket to Paris on Sunday.

Puerto Rico avoided a date with Lithuania in the Semi-Finals after emerging undefeated from Group B, as 12,519 fans cheered them on past Italy in the battle for the top seed in the standings. The hosts will be now hoping to capitalize on the homecourt advantage in the continental matchup versus Mexico, who snatched the last spot in the Final Phase with a decisive win over Côte d’Ivoire on Thursday.

The feel-good factor of the Bahamas continues as they rolled into the Semi-Finals with two victories over European opposition. A different challenge awaits in the last four as Lebanon showed plenty of heart to overcome Angola, and they will look to take on the mantle of underdogs in this intriguing encounter.

Spain did not have things completely their own way, but the OQT hosts in Valencia will be spurred on by their home support going into crunch time at the weekend. It was a thrilling comeback for Finland to keep their Olympic hopes alive, and they need to find a way to rest and recover if they are to pull off the upset and spoil the party.
