2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 5, Saturday, 19 October 2024:
SPLIT – MEGA MIS
Where? Split Sports Hall, Split
When? 19:00
Story of the game: On Saturday night, Split will be hosting Mega MIS at home in their Split Sports Hall.
It’s a game, where Split will try to end Mega MIS’ unbeaten record for this season, where the Belgrade squad have not suffered a single defeat yet in four games played so far. On the other side, the Dalmatian squad are currently on a 1:3 record, but this does not speak enough about the quality of their game, having in mind that the victory came against the reigning champions Crvena zvezda Meridianbet, while last round they have suffered a tragic defeat with the buzzer on the road in Tivoli Sports Hall against Cedevita Olimpija.
Previously, Mega MIS have never ever managed to triumph in Split in four mutual encounters of the two squads played in Gripe so far. Can this time be the first or will Split continue their favourable tradition?
Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most interesting match-up this time around might be the one between Shannon Shorter and Mihailo Petrović. While the first has been the second-leading scorer, rebounder and passer of Split with 13.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4 assists averaged per game, Petrović has been averaging 15.8 points and 4.8 assists per game as Mega MIS’ top passer and second-leading scorer. Who will prevail in this head-to-head battle and can lead his team to the win this time?
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 4:4; In Split 4:0.
