AdmiralBet ABA League Round 20, Friday, 11 February 2022:
SPLIT – CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA
Where? Split Sports Hall, Split
When? 20:00
Story of the game: On Friday night, the basketball fever will take place in Split, where the home side will be hosting one of the regional basketball powerhouses – Cedevita Olimpija.
It’s a big game that might determine the remainder of the AdmiralBet ABA League season for both squads, that are currently both in a delicate position.
While Split are currently sharing the bottom of the regional competition standings together with Krka, both of them have collected only 3 triumphs so far this season, Cedevita Olimpija have recently made their way into the Top 4 of the AdmiralBet ABA League standings.
It’s clear that while Split wishes to escape the danger zone near the bottom as soon as possible, Cedevita Olimpija will do everything they can in order to stay near the top. And in order for them to accomplish these goals, they need to keep winning until the end.
Which of the two squads will do it this time?
Match-up in focus: It’s Shannon Shorter against Jaka Blažič! The two guards have marked the season of their squads, at least ever since Shorter has joined Split. Currently, both of them are the top scorers of their respective squads, with Shorter averaging 18.5 points per game and Blažič 14. How will it be this time? Which of the two excellent players will lead their team to the win?
Head to head in the regional league: in total 0:3; In Split 0:1.
