Eurobasket Initial group stage done, onto...

...the qualifying round? They really need to think of a different name for this. Anyway.

Lithuania managed to beat Bulgaria and avoid complete embarrassment, getting into the qualifying round as the third placed team in their group. Greece, France, and Turkey are the three teams to go undefeated in the group stage, and all go into the qualifying round with 2-0 records (the games against non-last place teams carry over. So, the "qualifying" groups:

Group E

1. Greece 2/0 4
2. France 2/0 4
3. Croatia 1/1 3
4. Germany 1/1 3
5. Russia 0/2 2
6. F.Y.R. of Macedonia 0/2 2


Group F
1. Turkey 2/0 4
2. Slovenia 1/1 3
3. Serbia 1/1 3
4. Spain 1/1 3
5. Poland 1/1 3
6. Lithuania 0/2 2

Both groups give us quite a few good match ups, and everything really seems to be up for grabs.
