Crvena zvezda mts will play in 2018/19 EuroCup TOP 16 stage! The red & whites defeated Brescia at home court and did their part of the job. And, since Galatasaray lost their match later this evening, the Belgrade side has officially qualified for the next stage of the competition.
Zvezda played a fantastic game against the Italians this Wednesday evening. We will just tell you the result at halftime – 65:22!!! This is the largest lead at half-time in EuroCup history! Of course that the boys coached by Milan Tomić had no problems staying in front until the end of the game.
Cedevita played quite a good game against Lokomotiv Kuban on the road, but they suffered defeat in a thrilling ending. This means that Cedevita will finish the 2018/19 EuroCup regular season at the 3rd place in Group B and that they will play in Group H of the TOP 16 stage together with UNICS Kazan and two more teams.
Mornar lost the home match against Fraport Skyliners Frankfurt and therefore stayed without chances of reaching the TOP 16 stage.
