BKT EuroCup. Round 15
Arena Riga
Broadcast – TV and YouTube channel DIVISPORT

Tomorrow, on January 17, at Arena Riga, “Prometey” plays its another BKT EuroCup match. The rival is an ambitious Lithuanian club “Wolves Vilnius”.

Tomorrow’s match is of great importance for both teams. On the eve of this confrontation, the “titans” are ahead of their rival by two wins. For the Lithuanian club, tomorrow’s game, actually, is the final one: a defeat, in fact, may put paid to hopes of the “wolves’” to make it to the EuroCup playoffs from the first attempt (current season is the debut one in the tournament for the Lithuanians).

“Prometey” also needs to win tomorrow since defeat makes the team’s fight to enter the top-6 much more difficult. Besides that, the players and coaches of the team are desperate to take revenge for the defeat in Vilnius in the first tour (71:85). That time, in the last year’s early November, 29-year-old player of “Wolves” Rasheed Sulaimon had just a brilliant match – 30 points + 7 assists, 36 points of the efficiency rating. After the unfortunate match for the “Titans” finished, their head coach Ronen Ginzburg noted that by and large only Caleb Agada had been able to cope with Sulaimon’s actions on the floor.

In this regard, the fact that, according to Ronen Ginzburg, Caleb Agada and Ondrej Balvin, the real leader of “Prometey” this season, have resumed practising in the general group is of great importance. As for Rob Gray, “Prometey” head coach noted, that Rob’s injury had been disturbing him so his participation in the match against “Wolves” is in question.

Anyway, the Ukrainian club has everything needed to gain such a vital victory. You can follow the flow of events in the confrontation “Prometey” – “Wolves Vilnius” thanks to the live broadcast on TV channel DIVISPORT and on YouTube on January 17 starting at 19:00.
