Basketball - Team Mongolia

General
Mongolia are competing at their sixth consecutive Asian Games in Hangzhou, having made their debut at the 2002 Games in Busan.

Mongolia notched their first Asian Games victory in 2006 against Palestine, and picked up two wins at the 2010 Games in Guangzhou against Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Continuing the trend in Incheon in 2014, Mongolia managed victories over Maldives, Jordan, and Hong Kong, China, and it could have been four wins but for a one-point loss to Kuwait. Their performance in the qualifying and preliminary rounds in Incheon was enough to see them into the quarterfinal round. Defeats to the Islamic Republic of Iran, Japan, and the People's Republic of China ended their campaign, but their eighth-place finish in Incheon remains their best Asian Games performance to date.

At the 2018 Games in Indonesia, the Mongolian team opened their campaign with a one-point loss to Thailand. A 35-point defeat to the Republic of Korea followed, before they ended the group stage with a five-point win over Indonesia. It was not enough to see them through to the knockout stages, and they ended the Games ranked 10th out of 13 teams.
