The ABA League side of Bar will do their best in order to reach the third round of the qualifications for the Basketball Champions League, but it will not be an easy task.
The squad, led from the bench by Mihailo Pavićević, were defeated in the first game on the road in Russia, with 18 points of margin (88:70), and will need to win by 19 or more in the second one. The Topolica Sports Hall in Bar will for sure be packed and the Sailors will definitely need their support to perform something that could almost be called a miracle, if they advance through to the next round.
But, at the recently ended ABA Super Cup in their city of Bar, Mornar have demonstrated excellent performance, especially in the game against Partizan NIS in the Quarter-finals, which indicates that they are capable of achieving great things.
