Finally, after seven games, Cedevita Olimpija gets its first “W” in the 7Days EuroCup. The Slovenian team had an awful start to the season with six losses, but now they have demolished Ulm 108-78.

Cedevita is still at the very bottom of group A, while the German team recorded its fourth loss.

JL Bourg on the other hand remains on top after winning in overtime against Prometey 92-88. It was a lot tougher than expected but the French team rallied in the crucial moments in overtime and got the job done.

James Palmer was terrific again with 23 points and nine rebounds. Issuf Sanon scored 18 points for Prometey.

London Lions are on a roll. A victory in Greece against Promitheas  (77-67) marks a third consecutive win for the English team. In a big fourth quarter, the away team pulled away led by the former Wisconsin star Sam Dekker who was the leading scorer with 20 points.

Promitheas lost its second game in a row. Arnoldas Kulboka scored 18 points in a losing effort. Both teams now have four wins after seven rounds in Group B.

A tough night for Bursaspor in Italy. Last season finalist lost its third game of the season. Umana Reyer Venice played great and got a hefty win 78-65.

Derek Willis led the Italians with a monster double-double recording 19 points and 13 rebounds. Mitchell Watt followed with 18 points and five rebounds. Onuralp Bitim’s 24 points were not enough for Bursaspor to get a win.
