Canada stormed back to upset defending Spain on Sunday to both advance to the quarter\u002Dfinals and qualify for the 2024 Olympics in Paris
Only a date with perhaps the best scorer on the planet, Luka Doncic and his Slovenian teammates on Wednesday in Manila .Canada stormed back to upset defending World Cup and EuroBasket champion Spain on Sunday to both advance to the quarter-finals of this World Cup, and qualify for the 2024 Olympics in Paris, Canada’s first trip to the quadrennial sporting pinnacle since 2000.
And when formidable squads were actually built, there were devastating buzzer-beating losses in Mexico City in 2015 and in Victoria in 2021 that extended the drought. A win over Slovenia would put Canada in range of a podium finish and likely a huge leap from No. 15 in the FIBA rankings. Lithuania or Serbia would await on Friday, with a win there setting up a likely clash with the United States in Sunday’s final.
