LJUBLJANA (FIBA EuroBasket Women 2017) – Slovenia have named the history-makers who will represent their country at their maiden FIBA EuroBasket Women Final Round appearance.
The team heading to the Czech Republic next week is made up predominantly of the players who punched their ticket in the Qualifiers, with the addition of naturalized forward Shante Marie Evans.
