AdmiralBet ABA League Round 9, Monday, 5 December 2022:

MORNAR-BARSKO ZLATO - SPLIT

Where? Topolica Sports Center, Bar

When? 18:00

Story of the game: In the final game of Round 9, Mornar-Barsko zlato will host Split on Monday evening.

Each side will be looking to bounce back after a tough defeat. Recall that last weekend Mornar-Barsko zlato lost a thrilling game against Borac Mozzart on the road, while Split dropped a huge lead against SC Derby at home as they let their opponents make a major comeback in the 4^th quarter and take the win.

Mornar-Barsko zlato have so far hosted Split twice in the regional league and the Bar troops have won both of those two home games.

Yet, Split are now coming to Sports Center Topolica with some new energy as they announced this weekend that club legend Roko Leni Ukić has returned to the team and that he will play for the Yellow troops in the rest of the 2022/23 season. Perhaps, Ukić is the one to change the flow of the season for Split who have won just 2 games in the previous 6 rounds.

Match-up in focus: These two teams have 4 players who are currently among the 15 top scorers of the season!

Mornar-Barsko zlato point guard Daron Russell is the top scorer of the season with 27.3 points per game. Split’s shooting guard Shannon Shorter is holding the 5^th spot with the average score of 18.6 points per game, while his teammate Dominik Mavra is at the 8^th place with 16.6 points per game. Finally, Mornar-Barsko zlato’s guard Vladimir Mihailović is standing at the 11^th place with 15.6 points per game.

This game should be quite exciting to watch.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 3:1; In Bar 2:0.
