| | | 20 September 2009 Russia rebounded from their disappointing loss in the final qualifier for the 2010 FIBA World Championship to knock off Turkey 89-66 to claim seventh place at EuroBasket 2009. Vitalii Fridzon buried seven three-pointers in scoring 26 points and leading five Russians in double figures in Russia's final game as 2007 reigning champions. | |

One year before hosting the 2010 FIBA World Championship, Turkey needs to confirm it's improvement and to gain stability. So close to such a big event, in which Turkey plans to de even better at home than during EuroBasket 2001, reaching the podium becomes almost a necessity. |
