2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 23, Monday, 18 March 2024:
KRKA - SPLIT
Where? Leon Štukelj Sports Hall, Novo mesto
When? 18:00
Story of the game: Krka will host Split in the last game of Round 23 which is very important for each side.
After Mornar-Barsko zlato’s win this weekend, Krka have remained all alone at the last place on the standings, but the boys from Novo mesto still have a chance to tie with Mornar-Barsko zlato until the end of this round… All they have to do is to win the upcoming match against Split.
On the other side, Split, who is right in the middle of the Playoffs race, can be quite satisfied with the previous results in this round as both Igokea m:tel and SC Derby lost their games. Therefore, if Split win the upcoming match they will tie with Igokea m:tel and SC Derby who are currently holding the 7th and the 8th spots on the standings.
As you can see, each side have quite a big motive to win the upcoming match which suggests that the last match of this round might be very, very interesting to watch.
Match-up in focus: Jan Špan (Krka) and Shannon Shorter (Split) are without any doubt the leaders of their teams, so their direct duel in the Monday’s game might decide the winner.
Špan is the top scorer of Krka in this season with 11.5 points per game, while Shorter is the top scorer of Split with 15.6 points per game.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 9:6; In Novo mesto 5:2.
