After five Gamedays of action, the Basketball Champions League doesn’t stop to amaze. Only one week didn’t feature an exciting overtime thriller while new faces regularly rise up to the challenge and try to steal the spotlight from the well-known and experienced veterans.
It’s time for the BCL Gameday 6 and as usual, the games will be divided between Tuesday (12/11) and Wednesday (13/11).
Day 6 Preview
Group A
1. UCAM Murcia (5-0)
2. Sidigas Avellino (4-1)
3. Banvit (3-2)
4. Nizhny Novgorod (2-3)
5. Anwil (2-3)
6. Le Mans (2-3)
7. Ventspils (2-3)
8. Ludwigsburg (0-5)
The first game of Day 5 will feature Banvit and Anwil as the Turkish team tries to keep their home court unscathed. A highly effective game is expected as both team harbor a fast playstyle. Banvit has scored 22.2 points per game in fast break situations (more than any other team) while Anwil scored at least 93 points in all three of the away games.
Another game for Group A will be played on Tuesday as winless Ludwigsburg hosts undefeated Murcia. The German squad lost ten games in a row before beating Ulm in the domestic league. They might’ve gotten some confidence boost but will it be enough to beat the perfect Spaniards?
On Wednesday, Ventspils will clash against Nizhny Novgorod and both teams arrive in a good mood. They won both their last BCL and domestic league games.
Last game in the group will be Avellino squad traveling to France for the match against Le Mans. Just one of the last ten games the Italian team played saw a double-digit margin and two featured overtimes. Will they treat the crowd with another exciting finish?
