Syracuse overcame an 18 percent shooting in the first half and a 17 point deficit to force overtime against the Cardinals with 13 seconds left, their third extra session of that NCAA Tournament.

Syracuse ran into foul trouble again in overtime with four players unavailable. Junior Bridgeman scored 12 of his 21 points in the extra period. The Cardinals pulled away late to win, 96-88.

Even after two losses, about 2,000 fans waited at Hancock Airport to greet the Orange when they returned from San Diego.

April 7, 2003: Syracuse 81, Kansas 78

Jim Boeheim finally won a championship thanks to a scrappy freshman, the ultimate "one-and-done" player and the greatest block in Syracuse history.

Gerry McNamara opened the national title game on a hot streak, hitting six 3-pointers in the first half.

Kansas fought back after trailing at halftime, led by 19 point performances from Nick Collison and Keith Langford with Kirk Hinrich and Jeff Graves scoring 16 each.

With Syracuse clinging to a 81-78 lead in the final seconds, Kansas' Michael Lee had what he thought was an open 3-pointer to tie the game. Syracuse's Hakim Warrick soared into the corner and blocked Lee's shot, saving the win and a championship for the Orange.

Carmelo Anthony capped an amazing season and NCAA Tournament with 20 points and 10 rebounds against the Jayhawks.

Syracuse defeated Montana, California, Indiana and Marquette to advance to the 2013 Final Four in Atlanta.

Syracuse took on Michigan in the Final Four. The Orange trailed at halftime 35-26, their largest deficit at the break that season.

Despite some questionable officiating down the stretch, the Orange came back in the second half and were within one-point after a James Southerland 3-pointer.

Down by three points late in the game, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim used his last timeout to set up a final play. Trevor Cooney was supposed to find James Southerland for a 3-point shot, but got caught up in the lane and tossed up an awkward shot instead. Michigan recovered the ball and dunked on the other end to seal the game and advance to the national title game.

CJ Fair led Syracuse with 22 points.

what to expect and where to watch

The 2022 Women's Basketball World Championship , which will be held in Sydney, Australia from September 22 to October 1, will be the 19th in a row. More than half of the previous tournaments - 10 out of 18 - were won by the US team basketball players, who will be clear favorites this time as well. Note that the winner of the 2022 World Cup will receive a direct ticket to the Olympics, becoming the first team to qualify for the women's basketball tournament of the Paris 2024 Games.

12 teams will take part in the World Championship, which are divided into two groups at the preliminary stage.

Group A: Belgium, China, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Puerto Rico, Republic of Korea, USA.

Group B: France, Serbia, Japan, Mali, Canada, Australia.

Group round-robin matches will be held from 22 to 27 September. The four best teams from each six go to the playoffs, where they will compete for medals according to the classical Olympic system: 29September quarter-finals will be held, September 30 - semi-finals, October 1 - the match for third place and the final.

The main contenders for gold medals are US basketball players who have not only won ten such tournaments in the past, but also five of the previous six. Thus, in the 21st century, only once - in 2006 - the victory at the World Cup went not to the Americans, but to another team, which was then the Australian team. In the application of the US team for the current tournament, there are five Olympic champions of the Games in Tokyo 2020: Jewell Loyd , Ariel Atkins , Chelsea Gray , Aja Wilson and Brianna Stewart. The main opponents of the Americans at the preliminary stage in group A will most likely be the Belgian basketball players led by the magnificent Emma Messeman . The remaining four teams from this six will most likely have to fight for the remaining two vacancies in the playoffs, and basketball players from China will be the favorites in it.

A much more even line-up has gathered in Group B, which will feature World Cup hosts Australia and three of the four semi-finalists in the Tokyo Olympics (that is, all but the US team) - Japan, France and Serbia. The sixth-placed Canadian team in the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rating will play in the same group, the leader of which is Natalie Achonwa . So in this six, a serious struggle will begin from the very first days of the group stage, as one of the five very strong teams will not even be able to get into the playoffs.

In the teams of this group, we also note the legend of Australian basketball, still remaining in the ranks - 41-year-old Lauren Jackson , who was the 2006 world champion, and won her first Olympic medal 22 years ago - it was the silver of the Games the same Sydney, where the current World Cup will be held.

History of world basketball and history of basketball in Russia

replica Swiss watches

Basketball (English basket - basket, ball - ball) is one of the most popular team sports in the world. Basketball is played by two teams, each consisting of five players. The goal of each team is to throw the ball with their hands into the opponent's net ring (basket) and prevent the other team from taking possession of the ball and throwing it into their own basket. The basket is at a height of 3.05 meters (10 feet) from the floor. There are 5 people from each team on the court, in total there are 12 people in the team, substitutions are not limited. For a ball thrown from close and medium distances, 2 points are counted, (because of the three-point line) - 3 points. A free throw is worth one point. The standard size of a basketball court is 28 meters long and 15 meters wide. Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world.

Basketball around the world

During the winter of 1891, students at the Youth Christian Association College in Springfield, Massachusetts, forced to perform endless gymnastic exercises, considered at that time almost the only means of introducing young people to sports, were very bored in physical education classes. It was necessary to put an end to the monotony of such activities, to introduce a fresh stream into them, which would be able to satisfy the competitive needs of strong and healthy young people.

College teacher James Naismith found a way out of a seemingly dead-end situation. On December 1, 1891, he tied two peach baskets to the railing of the balcony of the sports hall and, dividing eighteen students into two teams, offered them a game, the meaning of which was to throw more balls into the opponents' basket.

The idea of ​​this game originated in his school years, when children played the old game "duck-on-a-rock". The meaning of this game, popular at that time, was as follows: throwing a small stone, it was necessary to hit the top of another stone, larger in size, with it.

Quite pragmatically called "basketball" game only remotely resembled modern basketball. There was no dribbling, the players only threw it to each other, standing still, and then tried to throw it into the basket, and only with both hands from below or from the chest, and after a successful throw, one of the players climbed onto a ladder attached to the wall and removed the ball from the basket . From a modern point of view, the actions of the teams would seem to us sluggish and inhibited, but the goal of Dr. Naismith was to create a team game in which a large number of participants could be involved at the same time, and his invention fully met this task.

Very quickly, starting in 1895, basketball from the USA penetrated first to the East - to Japan, China, the Philippines, as well as to Europe and South America.

In 1904, at the Olympic Games in St. Louis (USA), the Americans organized an exhibition tournament between teams from several cities. Similar demonstration tournaments were held at the 1924 (Paris) and 1928 (Amsterdam) Olympics.

Basketball associations were created in a number of countries, but organizational disunity hindered international contacts and hindered the further development of basketball. June 18 1932 in Geneva, the first international conference of national basketball associations took place. The meeting decided to establish the International Federation of Basketball Associations (FIBA). The first international rules of the game were adopted in 1932 at the first FIBA ​​Congress, after which they were repeatedly adjusted and changed, the last significant changes were made in 1998 and 2004.

In 1935, the International Olympic Committee decided to recognize basketball as an Olympic sport.

Basketball made its Olympic debut at the 11th Olympic Games in Berlin in 1936. Men's teams from 21 countries took part in the tournament. Competitions were held in open areas, all subsequent Olympic tournaments were held indoors. The USA team became the first Olympic champion.

Women's basketball made its Olympic debut in 1976 in Montreal. Six teams participated in the tournament. The first Olympic champions were the basketball players of the USSR national team, who became champions twice more. The first European Championship among men was held at 1935 in Geneva. Latvian basketball players won. The first European Women's Championship was held in Rome in 1938, which was won by Italian basketball players.

The decision to hold the world championships among men was made at the FIBA ​​congress during the 1948 Olympics. in London. The first World Basketball Championship took place in 1950. in Buenos Aires (Argentina). 10 teams took part in the championship. The first world champion was the team of Argentina, who defeated the 1948 Olympic champion team of the United States.

At the FIBA ​​congress in Helsinki, in 1952 (during the Olympic Games), it was decided to hold the Women's World Championships. The first championship was held in 1953 in Santiago (Chile), and the first champions were American basketball players.

Thus, the game, once invented just for the sake of diversifying physical education lessons for students, has become one of the most popular and popular sports games in the world. With the development of the Game, its rules were changed and supplemented, as well as the equipment and layout of the site (for example, the introduction of a time limit (24 seconds) for an attack by the team of the opponent's basket, or the appearance of a line, for hitting due to which the team is awarded 3 points (1984)).

Basketball in Russia

Basketball in Russia was born in 1906. Place of birth - St. Petersburg, sports society "Mayak".

The gymnasts of this society created the first basketball teams, then the teams appeared in the "Bogatyr" society, and some others. But before the October Revolution of 1917. this game was cultivated practically only in the capital of Russia - Petersburg. The new life of basketball in Russia begins in the early twenties. As an independent subject, basketball is introduced first at the Main Military School of Physical Education of Workers, and a little later at the Moscow Institute of Physical Culture.

Graduates of these educational institutions became the first specialists in basketball in our country.

The basketball tournament held in 1923 is considered to be the first championship of the country. at the first All-Union Physical Culture Festival. In the same 1923 appeared in the USSR and the first official rules.

In 1947, the All-Union Basketball Section became a member of the International Basketball Federation. Soviet basketball players received the right to participate in all competitions organized by FIBA. In the same year, the USSR national men's team took part in the European Championship. Our basketball players defeated the teams of Yugoslavia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Egypt, Poland and met in the final with the European champion - the team of Czechoslovakia. Having won with a score of 56:37, the USSR national team won the title of European champion.

The USSR men's team was one of the strongest teams in the world during the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

In total, in the final stages of 39 tournaments (9 Olympiads, 9 World Championships and 21 Europeans) from 1947 to 1990, in which the USSR team took part, only at the very first World Cup in 1959, the Soviet team failed to get into the number winners, and even then only for political reasons, the team was deprived of gold, since despite the fact that the USSR team won all its matches, it refused to play with the Taiwanese team. Such a unique achievement has not been conquered by any other basketball team.

Here is a complete list of historical achievements of the USSR men's team:

Olympic champion (2): 1972, 1988.

Olympic silver medalist (4): 1956, 1960, 1964, 1968

Olympic bronze medalist (3): 1968, 1976, 1980

World Champion (3): 1967, 1974, 1982

Vice World Champion (3): 1978, 1986, 1990

European Champion (14): 1947, 1951, 1953, 1957, 1959, 1961, 1963, 1965, 1967, 1969, 1971, 1979, 1981, 1985 (From 1957 to 1971, the USSR national team won 8 European Championships in a row).

The performances of the USSR women's team on the international arena look no less impressive:

The USSR national team - 21 times became the champion of Europe (1950-1956, 1960-1991)

6 times the USSR national team held the title of World Champion (19649, , 1967, 1971, 1975 and 1983) and twice became the bronze medalist (1957 and 1986)
