When? 19:00
Story of the game: On Saturday night, Igokea m:tel will be hosting Budućnost VOLI at home in their Laktaši Sports Hall in Laktaši.
It will be a showdown of two squads, that still have perfect records after the opening two rounds of the season, with Igokea m:tel having won two games on the road, in Split and Zadar and Budućnost VOLI having prevailed over Mornar-Barsko zlato on the road and against Split on home court in Morača Sports Hall.
This time, both of them will wish to snatch another win, that would keep them atop of the standings without a single scratch after three rounds.
Which one will do it? It’s worth noting that the outcomes of the games between the two squads have always been difficult to predict, as in 13 games between the two squads so far in Laktaši, Igokea m:tel have prevailed 6 times and Budućnost VOLI 7 times.
Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most interesting match-up of the game is the one between two newcomers in their squads, Bryce Jones of Igokea m:tel and Rasheed Sulaimon of Budućnost VOLI. Currently, they ae both the top scorers and passers of their respective squads, with Jones averaging 16.5 points and 6 assists during the opening two rounds for Igokea m:tel and Sulaimon 15.5 points and 6 assists for Budućnost VOLI.
