BCL: Igokea Close BCL Campaign with Home Loss to Galatasaray

Igokea m:tel closed their 2025/26 FIBA Champions League regular season with a home defeat, falling to Galatasaray in the final round in a game that proved difficult both on the scoreboard and mentally for the Laktaši side.

It was one of those matchups Igokea would rather not have played if circumstances were different. Already eliminated before the last round, the hosts entered the game with little left to fight for, and it showed early on. Lacking the usual edge and intensity, Igokea struggled to match Galatasaray’s focus, allowing the Turkish powerhouse to take control from the very beginning.

Galatasaray imposed their rhythm straight away, building a double-digit lead by the end of the first quarter. As the game progressed, the outcome became increasingly clear. Galatasaray managed the advantage with composure and experience, cruising through the remaining quarters and keeping the hosts at a safe distance until the final buzzer.

For Igokea m:tel, the loss marked the end of a challenging FIBA Champions League campaign, one that offered lessons but ultimately did not bring the desired results. Attention now fully shifts back to the AdmiralBet ABA League, where the Laktaši squad will look to regroup and refocus for the challenges ahead.
