The Blues win brilliantly against Cyprus in qualifying for Euro 2025

Cyprus still in the game with 5 minutes to go

Eye-catching, Cyprus, automatically qualified for Euro 2025 as co-organizer, played every shot to the fullest and fell back below the ten-point mark a little before the break (43-34). In the third quarter, France, quickly in the penalty area, suffered in defense. Cyprus came back to two possessions (53-47) led by naturalized US power forward Darral Willis (18 points, 9 rebounds), before the Blues regained some air with two three-point baskets Andrew Albicy and Adam Mokoka on second chances (68-55).
