The Queen finished with 2/18 outside the rainbow, both threes were made by Kendrick Ray. The 25-year-old American combo guard sank all of his five two-point attempts and led his side to the “W” with 18 points.

Keith Langford posted 16 points in the Gameday 3 match aiding Ilias Papatheodorou’s side to improve its Basketball Champions League Group B W-L tally 2-1. Howard Sant-Roos registered eight points and ten boards.

The hosts struggled in the first half of the Regular Season tilt, but controlled the second for the “W” after their 8-0 run early in the third period.

Dave Dudzinski sank three shots beyond the arc for 13 points in the first half, went on for a game-high 20 points. His scoring performance did not prevent Christophe Beghin’s team from falling to 1-2.
