Jovana Popovic is a Husky!

The rosters are out for today's game, and Jovana is on it. There were 16 players training for Serbia, but since only 12 are on the roster, I assume she will be in uniform. FIBA regulations do not allow more than 12 players to be in uniform. The game starts at 1:00 PM Eastern Time and is supposed to be broadcast by FIBA via its YouTube channel.
 


The team roster is now confirmed for today's game, which starts at 1:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time. Here is the translation of the Instagram post. The game is taking place in Serbia, and for its second game on March 14, the team will travel to Portugal.





The head coach of the senior women's national team of Serbia, Milos Pavlovic, has named 12 players for the game against Iceland in Novi Sad on Wednesday, the 11th. March at 6:00 PM in the small hall of the SPЦ Vojvodina, as part of the second FIBA qualifying window for the 2027 European Championship.


Admission to the game is free, with tickets available for pickup at the SPЦ Војводина box office, all as part of Women's Basketball Month in Serbia.
 

Serbia 92 Iceland 66 Jovana Played 17:04 minutes
If you watch the replay, she is # 28 in white. When she first goes
into the game Jovana has a LONG ponytail and later
she puts her hair up in a bun.
Stats: 8 points, Field goals 2/3, 0/0 on 2 pointers, 2/2 on
three pointers, 2/2 free throws with 2 rebounds, 0 assists,
1 T.O., no steals, no blocks, with a plus/minus score of +14 and an
efficiency score of 8. Next game is Saturday, March 11 at
3 PM (our time), against Portugal.
 
Serbia will wrap up its second window of the first round against Portugal. The team is in Group G, the only group with just three teams, and following its latest victory over Iceland, it has already qualified for the second round of qualifying for EuroBasket 2027. The two qualifying windows will take place in November 2026, with the final one in February 2027.

Tomorrow’s game, which was initially scheduled for the afternoon in Portugal, has been moved to the evening. This means the game will tip off at 3:00 PM Eastern Time.

Mega Mis (79) - Novosadska (81) OT
Jovana--> 41:16 - 32 PTS - FG 11/22 (5/12 3 PT) - FT 5/5 - 6 AST - 7 REB - 1 ST - 3 TO.
A tough loss for Mega Mis; the team is currently in third place alongside Student, which has the same record. Both teams will finish their regular season next Saturday. If Mega Mis wants to hold onto third place, it will have to defeat Crvena, a team that has yet to suffer a loss this year and has been undefeated during the 2024-2025 season. In their final game, Student will face the 12th and last-place team, Spartak. The top four teams will advance to the playoffs. The semifinals will be a best-of-three series, and the final will be a best-of-five series.
