ABA League 25th round, Saturday, 4.3.2017:
Where? Topolica Sports Hall, Bar
When? 17:00
Story of the game: These days Bar is breathing and living for basketball. After their fans supported their team on the road far away from home in Novo mesto they will fill the Topolica sports hall this time against Igokea and even if the hall had 10.000 spots available, it would probably be packed this time around.
It is clear what is at stake this time – if Mornar win, they will make a decisive step towards avoiding the relegation from the ABA League, while on the other side if Igokea win, they will be only a win away from securing their desired fifth place in the standings.
The first time the two sides met this season, Igokea were better with the score of 74:69 in Laktaši and this was their first and only encounter so far in the ABA League.
Match-up in focus: It will be a pleasure to watch the clash of two excellent shooting guards, the fellow Americans Antabia Waller and James Robinson, which are both the main offensive weapons of their teams this season. Who will be the more successful one this time? Dare to bet?
Head to head in regional league: In total 0:1; In Bar 0:0.
