They've merged group B and D (as well as A and C) and eliminated the 4th from each group, at the end of the qualifiers everyone has played everyone in the merged group twice and the 4th team from the pre-merged group twice as well. It's more of a part 2 rather than a round 2.

Top 3 from these merged groups qualify automatically and the best 4th of the 2 merged groups qualifies as well.

Yes well then Fiba need to sort out this group stuff as it’s confusing this carry over points stuff to teams you’ve already played and putting them in the same pool in the next stage. A bit convuluted but it will have to do..

LOL @ Matt. Results carry over... you don't play teams you've played previously... again. Pretty obvious.

Why do we not play the Phillipines again they are in our group in the 2nd round of qualifiers? No one has been able to explain this nor was the thread starter..

Turkey and Israel compete in Europe in the majority of sports. That won't be changing any time soon.

Is Ater Majok Lebanon's best player?

Also theoretically Turkey and Israel should be in Asia IMO.

How great is this whole qualification thing. Sure some of the games aren't exactly high quality battles.

But to have so many competitive international games in what is like a standalone international window is fantastic for the game (and for growing the game).

International basketball had been put into the wilderness prior to the qualification set up - with teams playing very little if at all between WC's and Olympics - which makes it hard to get into the scene.

94 games from Thursday to Tuesday - really good for international basketball.

Presumably, as well, it can work financially for national teams as crowds/FIBA can off-set the accommodation and travel costs?

A pretty regular topic of conversation among basketball fans when the AFL season is in full swing is what Nic Naitanui would be like had he chosen basketball as his preferred sport.

This clip suggests he probably would have been rather good.

Love the walk out afterwards too.
