What an end of the U19 ABA Championship - Group Stage!
In the direct battle for the 2nd place in Group A, Igokea have defeated Mega Bemax in a thrilling finish! The hero of the winning side was Dalibor Ilić who has made another incredible performance - 37 points, 18 rebounds, 47 index rating!
On the other side, Luka Cerovina with 35 points and Aleksandar Langović with 25 points and 13 rebounds were not able to help Mega Bemax prevail in this crucial game. The boys from Sremska Mitrovica had a chance to take the win in the last moments, but Boško Bumbić missed the 3-pointer at the buzzer.
This means that Igokea have finished the Group Stage at the 2nd place in Group A, while the top spot belongs to Cedevita who suffered defeat in the last round against Krka, but that did not affect their final position.

The 2nd spot in Group B and the final ticket for the 2018/19 #ABAFutureStars Final Tournament belongs to Cibona who beat Partizan NIS in last round of the Group Stage!
After doing their part of the job, the young Wolves then had to follow the score of the match between Petrol Olimpija and Crvena zvezda mts, in which they needed the win of the Belgrade side to definitely book the ticket for the F4... And that is exactly what happened. Crvena zvezda mts prevailed over Petrol Olimpija and finished the Group Stage as the only undefeated team in the competition. Zvezda have therefore won the 1st placed team in Group A, while the 2nd spot went to the hands of Cibona.
In the final game of the Group Stage, Budućnost VOLI defeated Zadar in overtime.
