Student Basketball Association (SBA) is the largest Russian student sports league. All teams first compete in regional divisions. Congratulations to Lobachevsky University’s men’s basketball team who made it to the SBA Major League Ural-Volga Division Finals!

On December 18, our first-year students came second in Nizhny Novgorod Universities Division at this year’s competition for first-year students. If the team puts in a good performance in the Ural-Volga Division Finals, it is likely to get a chance to compete for a title in Russia’s Student Basketball Association Annual Championship (or Russia’s Belov League Annual Championship, as named after legendary champion and founding director of SBA, Sergei Belov).
