Cedevita have done it! The Orange squad have defeated Arka Gdynia at home court and qualified for the 2018/19 EuroCup TOP 16 stage, two rounds before the end of the regular season.
Justin Cobbs was brilliant this evening, as he scored 28 points for the winning side.
Now, the only question is which of the Group B top 4 positions Cedevita will take at the end of the regular season. Currently, they are holding the 3rd spot.
Partizan NIS and Mornar were not so lucky this Wednesday.
Despite playing quite a good match against Spanish powerhouse Valencia, the black & whites were defeated at home court. Belgrade side was up by 57:52 at the beginning of the last quarter, but then the visitors made the key 12:10 run and escaped to a +7 lead – 64:57. With less than a 3 minutes left on the game clock, Valencia had no troubles staying in front until the end of the match.
Mornar are definitely struggling defensively lately and Unicaja used that to seize quite a convincing win in Malaga. The Spanish squad scored no less than 113 points in this match…
