Before diving into the first week of the Basketball Champions League Regular Season, volume 1 of the official Power Rankings was released on Tuesday.
Sixteen games taking place all over Europe will be held between Tuesday and Wednesday, tipping off action across eight groups of four teams each. The top seeds will advance directly to the Round of 16 and the middle seeds will get a second opportunity to qualify through a best-of-three Play-In series.
A closer look at the competition was presented by Igor Curkovic via the official portal of the Basketball Champions League.
The 32 participating clubs were ranked 32nd to first. The reigning BCL champion Unicaja starts the 2024-25 campaign on the top spot of the Power Rankings, followed by fellow ACB clubs La Laguna Tenerife and UCAM Murcia.
