The Argentine basketball team has to beat the Bahamas in the final of the Santiago del Estero Olympic Prequalifier to maintain their aspirations of reaching the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Starting at 9:10 p.m., at the Ciudad stadium in the capital of Santiago, those led by Pablo Prigioni from Cordoba take on the challenge of defeating an undefeated rival and who suffered the only defeat in the tournament, in the debut by 101-89. The match will be televised on TyC Sports y DirecTV.
Argentina advanced to the defining game by beating Chile 87-79 on Saturday in one of the semifinals and the Central Americans did the same following beating Uruguay 78-62 in the other match.
The winner of the tournament in Santiago del Estero will be credited with the right to play one of the four Pre-Olympics that will take place from July 2 to 7 of next year, with six participants and a ticket to Paris 2024 in each of them.
