The Rhodians have not started this season well at all, counting just one win in six official games in Greece and Europe.

“We are excited to have another opportunity to face a very good team on our home field and in front of our home crowd. We look forward to the next challenge and what we strive to do is improve every time we step on the floor. So this will be another step in our journey through the season. I think it will be a good and fun game.”
