“Locks” qualification and leaves for the “16” of the Basketball Champions League o Prometheus!
Tonight, the Patrinoi welcome at “Dimitris Tofalos” the Karsijaka (19:30, sport-fm.gr, Cosmote Sport 4) in Game 2 of the play-in series of the tournament, aiming for the second victory and qualification to the next round of the event!
In the first game between them, a week ago, Ilias Papatheodorou’s team left Smyrna with the double score 81-77, breaking the streak and taking that home advantage! A big “weapon” for the Patrinos in that match was the polyphony in the attack, as, not one, not two, but overall six players had double digit points!
On Saturday, Prometheus celebrated a big home win over him Mars in the second overtime for the Greek championship (106-96), thus climbing to 3rd place in the standings with an 8-6 record.
On the other hand, the Turks are in an extremely difficult position recently, both in terms of competition and administration. The departure of the main sponsor of the club has open Aeolus’ bag of departures, with the team’s top foreigners leaving for other… states. In fact, after the first game against Patrinos, the coach, Ufuk Saritsa, resigned from his position, with Karsijaka now walking with Rouhan Tamsoz as an official.
In the competitions, the Smyrna club counts four consecutive defeats in all competitions, most recently the one by Turk Telecom for the championship of Turkey with the heavy 95-73.
We remind you that the winner of the pair will be in the round of 16 in the group of AEK Betsson BC, Vitzburg, and Tortona, which yesterday 2-0 against Peristeri.
