Season not over yet for Budućnost
Budućnost VOLI await their home court clash against Igokea in the 24th round of the ABA League with no pressure of results, as they have already secured themselves the first place in the standings. However, by beating Igokea, they would do a favour to their arch rivals Sutjeska and they intend to do it.

ABA League 24th round, Monday, 15.2.2016:
Where? Morača, Podgorica
When? 21:00
Story of the game: The game in Morača brings no pressure of a good result to Budućnost VOLI. Luka Pavićević"s men have already secured themselves a "pole position” after regular season last round in Skopje, but that does not mean that they lack the motive to win another game in a row.
There are at least two reasons for them to be eager to score another pair of points. Firstly, the new success would boost Montenegrin national coefficient in the battle for their second representative next season in the ABA League. Secondly, by winning they would extend hopes of their domestic arch rivals Sutjeska of avoiding relegation, since Igokea are their direct rivals at the moment.
On the other side, it is clear, that Igokea will want to win in order to escape the danger zone (they are currently only a win away from the last before last Sutjeska). However, they are not in a must-win situation, since arguably, it could be easier for them to triumph in 25th or 26th rounds of the season than now, against the league"s frontrunner.
Match-up in focus: Tadija Dragićević, the ABA League MVP of January is one of the hottest names in the ABA League at the moment and this time Miloš Komatina, former Budućnost VOLI player will be the one with the challenge of stopping him. Komatina has also been playing well lately and it will be fun to watch which player would prevail this time in the paint.
