While in Group A already three teams have qualified to the quarterfinals and the last spot is going to be played between Serbia and Venezuela, things in Group B are quite different.
Today is the big day for Argentina, Croatia and Brazil, which is still alive in the race, however there’s nothing bigger than the clash between unbeaten Lithuania and Eurobasket champs Spain.
The Spaniards after a slow start are still in danger of missing the quarter-finals and a win today will turn things around for them.
