Mornar Bar had managed to qualify for the 2019-20 Basketball Champions League but their start was anything but good. They lost the first six games in Group C, however, the chance of advancing to the playoffs has been kept alive by two straight wins.
With six Gamedays left, Mornar (2-6) has Brose Bamberg (4-4) as well as Peristeri winmasters (5-3) and Nizhny Novgorod (5-3) in front of them and they’ll have to ‘outrun’ at least two of those squads in order to advance.
Slim chances, true, but the Montenegrins have one of the most experienced squads in BCL this year and have the skills and mentality to make it happen.
Especially with Jacob Pullen leading the charge. The 30-year-old America-Georgian guard has been averaging 19.1 points on 42.4% from deep in BCL this season and he banked 23 and 27 points in the last two games.
It seems that as he gains momentum, so does the team and that will be crucial in their effort to surprise the world.
