Partizan NIS have remained the only undefeated team in the 2019/20 EuroCup regular season after beating French side Limoges CSP on the road! The black & whites have therefore scored all 5 wins in the first part of the current stage and they are very close to secure a TOP 16 ticket.

Partizan NIS had a slow start in this match, as they were down by 25:16 after the 1st quarter. However, then the Belgrade troops turned on the engines and started dominating the court. They have taken over the lead already until the halftime and they haven’t dropped it in the rest of the match.

Unfortunately, Budućnost VOLI suffered another narrow defeat in EuroCup. This week, they lost the home game against German team EWE Baskets Oldenburg after a thrilling ending.

The visiting team was up by 1 in the final moments of the this match – 83:82, while Justin Cobbs had a chance to give Budućnost VOLI perhaps the crucial lead. However, he missed the 2-pointer, with just 8 seconds remaining on the game clock, and EWE Baskets Oldenburg stayed in front until the end.
