Canada sets sights on men's basketball World Cup

Canada sets sights on men's basketball World Cup medal following hard-fought victory over Slovenia

Canada's most recent podium finish in a significant senior basketball competition occurred in 1986 when the women's team claimed bronze at the World Cup.

For the men's team, it's a throwback to history, as one must rewind the clock 50 years prior to the 1936 Olympics to find their last medal—a silver, secured after a 19-8 loss to the U.S. amidst a rainstorm in Nazi Germany. #basketballworldcup #canada #medalhopes #basketballhistory"
