Guyana’s male and female national U18 basketball teams have qualified for today’s quarterfinals of the International Basketball Foundation (IBF) Antilles 3×3 tournament after enduring mixed fortune last evening at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH).

The male unit, playing out of Pool B, advanced on the back of a win and a loss. The locals came from behind to defeat French Guiana 11-7 after the 10-minute regular time whistle was blown but lost to Martinique 5-11 in their second match of the evening and missed out on an automatic semi-final qualification.
