TTC Gone Traveling Show: EuroCup Eighthfinals playoffs review, Japanese B.League April 21-24 wrap
Monday is here and it’s time to look back on the week that was - which was pretty exciting as Antigoni Zachari and Enzo Flojo talk about. In this week’s Gone Traveling Show, we look back at the first round of playoffs in the 7DAYS EuroCup with Antigoni - especially the two big upsets by ratiopharm Ulm and Frutti Extra Bursaspor. With Enzo, the talk is about the thrilling battle for the eighth playoffs spot among Sea Horses Mikawa, Akita Northern Happinets and Hitachi Sun Rockers. Unfortunately this week, Moshe Barda was unable to talk about the first two rounds of games in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Playoffs.

EuroCup Eighthfinals playoffs review
The TTC Gone Traveling Show reviews the 7Days EuroCup Eighth-finals Playoffs with Antigoni Zachari of EuroHoops.net. Antigoni and David Hein discuss ratiopharm ulm upsetting Joventut Badalona as well as Frutti Extra Bursaspor surprising Partizan NIS Belgrade and MoraBanc Andorra defeating Buducnost VOLI Podgorica. The lesson of the Eighth-finals playoffs: stick to your guns and don't jump on new bandwagons or off old bandwagons. We also look ahead to the Quarter-Finals if Ulm can defeat Virtus Segafredo Bologna (which they already have done this season) and if Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana can deal with the weight of being a favorite.
