EUROBASKET 1951 Denmark debuted in the European championships at Eurobasket 1951 in Paris . They were defeated in all four of their preliminary round games, going 0-4 to take 5th place in the group. In a direct elimination match against Luxembourg , the Danes took a 46-45 lead with 5 seconds left. A final half-court shot by Luxembourg bounced off the rim, giving Denmark its first win and advancing the team to the first classification round. They picked up another win there, against Scotland , finishing third place in the group at 1-2. Their third win of the tournament came against Portugal in the 13-16 classification semifinal before Denmark lost to Switzerland in the 13/14 match to finish 14th of 18 teams with a record of 3-7. EUROBASKET 1953 Two years later, at Eurobasket 1953 in Moscow , the Denmark squad did not fare as well. They dropped 8 decisions (3 in the preliminary round, 3 in the first classification round, and the two second-round classification games) on their way to a 16th place finish out of the 17 teams. EUROBASKET 1955 Denmark lost all 8 of their games again at Eurobasket 1955 in Budapest , this time finishing last of the 18 teams competing. |
