Basketball is topic No. 1 in Novo mesto once again. Krka are in a run of 4 consecutive wins in ABA League, while on Saturday evening they are about to host Igokea.
ABA League 10th round, Saturday, 19.11.2016:
Where? ŠD Leona Štuklja, Novo Mesto
When? 21:00
Story of the game: While the start of the season was not that good for Krka, as the green and white crew opened the 2016/17 campaign with 1 win and 3 defeats, everything after that was simply outstanding for this club. The boys from Novo mesto scored 4 wins in a row and climbed to the top part of the table, with a clear goal to go even further. Krka have therefore showed to everyone that they are serious contenders in the Playoffs race.
At the same time, Igokea are in quite opposite situation. Their start of the season was very, very good, but the squad from Aleksandrovac suffered 4 defeats in the previous 5 rounds in ABA League. They will now try to improve their overall score on a difficult road game in Novo mesto...
Match-up in focus: Matic Rebec is the player to watch in the home team. His shooting skills are just incredible, but this time he will have to pay extra attention on defense, as he will confront the 5th best scorer of 2016/17 ABA League season - James Robinson of Igokea.
Head to head in regional competition: In total 6:4; In Novo mesto 4:1.
