Conclusions:
I. No cricket is a basketball → False (It is possible but not definite).
II. Some footballs are basketballs → False (It is possible but not definite, as Football can be part of remaining Basketball which is not Hockey).
III. Some hockey being cricket is a possibility → True (Part of Cricket which is not Football can be part of Hockey. Possibility is true as shown below)
