The Serbians enter the tournament ranked No. 2 in the world and are the favorites to win the trophy. However, they have never won the tournament since their debut in 2007 and will hope to change this as they begin their journey in Group A against Estonia on Aug. 27.

On the other hand, Greece has won the EuroBasket tournament twice, with its most recent victory in 2005. The "Greek Freak" will be hopeful of adding this title to his resume after leading the team in the Paris Olympics last summer. Greece is in Group C and will face Italy in its first game on Aug. 29.
