FIBA Europe Cup: Return to European obligations for Maroussi and PAOK

Back to action for FIBA Europe Cup. The fourth European event, after a break of about a month, starts again, with two Greek teams that participate in it have home matches ahead of them.

The Maroussiinitially, welcomes her Porto at the indoor of Agios Thomas (20:15, ERT SPORTS 2) for the third matchday of the “16” of the competition. The entirety of it Foti Takianou have a 1-1 record and face the only team in their group without a win, so will definitely be looking for dominance to continue their quest for conquest one of the first two positions leading to the knockouts.

However, the team from the northern suburbs is in a bad “moon”, after losing with a score of 96-57 to the Colossus in Rhodes and is now bottom of the league in a tie with the Rhodesians. It remains to be seen if the Maroussi will manage to show a reaction in this European encounter, and get his second pink card in the “16”, hoping for a victory of Tofa in the other group match to take the lead for second place.

At the same time (20:15, ERT 3), o PAOK hosts her Dijon at the “PAOK Sports Arena”. The “double-header of the north” has done extremely well so far, as he has a 2-0 record in the ’16’ and is looking for third win which will give him even more impetus to qualify for the quarterfinals.

Massimo Cancellieri’s side are generally in a very good time, as before the last defeat with a score of 100-81 against Panathinaikos in OAKA, numbered six consecutive positive results in all competitions, playing excellent basketball. “If you look ahead, you miss today. You can easily lose what is in front of you, so we only look at the next game and our goal is only to win the next match”said ahead of the match o Rocky Cruiser.
