Will Mornar-Barsko zlato or Igokea m:tel get back on the winning track?

2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 23, Friday, 15 March 2024:

MORNAR-BARSKO ZLATO – IGOKEA M:TEL

Where? Topolica Sports Hall, Bar

When? 18:00

Story of the game: Mornar-Barsko zlato will be hosting Igokea m:tel on Friday night in the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 23.

It will be a game of two squads, that have been experiencing a crisis of results lately in the AdmiralBet ABA League, having won only 1 out of their last 5 games, with Mornar-Barsko zlato losing 3 games in a row and Igokea m:tel 4.

However, both of them need to win in order to get back on the right track in their battle to accomplish their goals set for this season, meaning, that Mornar-Barsko zlato need a win in order to escape the very bottom of the standings, where they are currently placed together with Krka, while Igokea m:tel need to start winning again in order to stay in a favourable position in their Playoffs race, as they have found themselves at the edge of the Playoffs Zone due to their lately losing streak.

History reveals that winning in Bar has been a tough task for Igosi in the past, as they have only achieved 2 wins in 7 mutual encounters in Topolica Sports Hall.

How will it be this time? Which of the two squads will get back on the winning track?

Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most interesting match-up of the game is the one between Marcus Weathers of Mornar-Barsko zlato and Dragan Milosavljević of Igokea m:tel. While Weathers is currently the top scorer and rebounder of the Bar squad, averaging 16.7 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, Milosavljević has been averaging 9.2 points and 3.3 rebounds per game as the second-leading scorer and rebounder of Igokea m:tel. Who will take his team to the win this time?

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 8:7, In Bar 5:2.
