So I don't get it. Will there be a draw or not? Some sources say Russia and Lithuania goes to A group and other says only draw will decide the place of the teams...
Congrats with great victory!

I thought that the two direct qualifiers went to Group A and the third qualifier went to Group B. I hope you are correct and they do a draw.
FIBA.com has not updated their Olympic schedule to show Russia and Lithuania in Group A but they updated the page earlier in the day to show Russia as one of the qualified teams. Not sure whether that means there will be a draw or simply that FIBA has lazy staff. Either way it is poor communication by both FIBA and the Olympic committee on how this works.
