France lost a second consecutive FIBA World Cup game and have been knocked out of the tournament.
France’s men’s basketball team was eliminated from FIBA World Cup contention after opening with two losses, one year before it’s expected to be a top challenger to the U.S. at the Paris Olympics.
France eliminated from FIBA World Cup
France lost to Canada (95-65) and Latvia (88-86, squandering a 12-point lead to start the fourth quarter) over the first three days of the World Cup, which is co-hosted by Indonesia, Japan and the Philippines.
“For us, for sure it’s a nightmare,” France coach Vincent Collet said. France was eliminated from the 32-team group stage, from which 16 teams advance to another group stage.
There is a consolation group stage to classify the 17th-through-32nd-place teams.
