What a Round 5 of the BKT EuroCup! We have only one undefeated team left - Valencia Basket - and two winless sides - Trefl Sopot and Veolia Towers Hamburg - after a week of action packed with great storylines. There were two big upsets, one overtime game, a number of surprising comebacks and many records that were broken.
Sergio Llebres and David Hein review the fifth round of action, highlighting 7Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys’s suprising home win over previously undefeated Cosea JL Bourg-en-Bresse and Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana’s comeback victory at Aris Midea Thessaloniki. We also deep dive into Miquel Salvo of Dreamland Gran Canaria, Rodney McGruder of Umana Reyer Venice, Dolomiti Energia Trento’s Anthony Lamb as well as Marcus Weathers from Trefl Sopot.
We finish the show by looking ahead to Round 6 of the EuroCup with the most intriguing matchups being Joventut Badalona hosting Gran Canaria as well as Cedevita facing Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem and ratiopharm Ulm welcoming Trento.
