Goga Bitadze and Georgia crashed out of EuroBasket, losing to Finland in the quarterfinals. It ends a historic run for that nation. Meanwhile, Franz Wagner just made his 4th consecutive FIBA tournament semifinal, carrying Germany to a win over Luka Doncic’s Slovenia. Franz was Germany’s best player again, but Tristan da Silva’s 3rd quarter buzzer beating halfcourt heave was the spark that swung the game towards their way. Germany will face Finland in the semifinals on Friday.

All of that and more!

Hailing from Malta, HAINE's mission statement is simple; forgo all preconceived notions and preexisting scene stereotypes to create their own brand of extreme music. Haine's sound is influenced by a vast variety of musical genres, resulting in a deeply layered sound combining heavy grooves and crushing breakdowns, punctuated by melodic overtones. The band was formed in late 2017 and features a number of musicians with a longstanding history in the local metal scene.
