2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Top 8 Round 1, Wednesday, 25 March 2026:

U-BT CLUJ-NAPOCA – CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA

Where? BT Arena, Cluj-Napoca

When? 19:00

Story of the game: In the previously postponed game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Top 8 Round 1, U-BT Cluj-Napoca will be hosting Cedevita Olimpija at home in their BT Arena in Cluj-Napoca.

It’s a game of two teams that have never ever met before in the AdmiralBet ABA League, but two of which are the old rivals from the EuroCup courts, where they also met twice this season and both times Cedevita Olimpija prevailed.

Now it’s time for the first of their two AdmiralBet ABA League showdowns in a week, as the two meet in BT Arena in a game, that could turn out to be one of the crucial ones for the final standings at the end of the Top 8 stage of the season, as the two sides are currently only separated by one win, Cedevita Olimpija are fifth with a record of 12:7, while U-BT Cluj-Napoca are holding the sixth place with a record of 11:8.

Previously, neither of the two sides has been particularly shining in the regional competition, with U-BT Cluj-Napoca winning 2 of their last 5 games and Cedevita Olimpija just as many.

Will U-BT Cluj-Napoca stay on the winning track or will Cedevita Olimpija return there? Tune in on Wednesday night and find out! 

Match-up in focus: Perhaps the key match-up of the game is the one between Daron Russell and Umoja Gibson. While Russell is currently the second-leading scorer and top passer of U-BT Cluj-Napoca, averaging 15.8 points and 5.7 assists per game, Gibson is leading Cedevita Olimpija in both scoring and passing, with an average of 14.8 points and 5.1 assists per game.
