CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA - IGOKEA M:TEL
Where? Arena Stožice, Ljubljana
When? 19:00
Story of the game: At this moment, both teams are in the Playoffs zone and their one and only goal is to remain there until the end of the regular season. It’s Cedevita Olimpija vs. Igokea m:tel.
Cedevita Olimpija currently have the score of 9-7, but they haven’t really been that successful lately as they suffered two narrow defeats in a row in AdmiralBet ABA League. Now, the Dragons will want to end that losing run in the match against a team that they have already beaten in this season. Back in October last year, Cedevita Olimpija scored quite a convincing win against Igokea m:tel on the road – 101:83.
On the other side, Igokea m:tel, who have the overall score of 9-8, have a good momentum ahead of this game as they seized a valuable win against FMP Meridian on Thursday evening in postponed game of Round 15. On top of that, Igokea m:tel head coach Dragan Bajić has returned on the bench after missing couple of games due to back surgery and his return has boosted the team morale significantly. Therefore, the visitors have high hopes ahead of this game and they will try to repeat the score from two years ago when they managed to beat Cedevita Olimpija on the road.
Match-up in focus: Jacob Pullen (Cedevita Olimpija) vs. Antabia Waller (Igokea m:tel).
These two amazing scorers are among the top 10 three-point shooters in the ongoing season. Waller holds the 3rd place on that list with a total number of 43 three-pointers made so far, while Pullen is at 5th spot with a total number of 34 three-point shots made.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 3:2; In Ljubljana 1:1.
