Basketball, Eurocup draw: Germani is in eighth of the “seed”

Eurocup has divided the twenty participants of the 2022-2023 season into ten different “seeds” – each made up of two teams – which are preparatory to generating the two ten-ten regular season groups, so that they are, at least on paper – and on the basis of recent results – as balanced as possible.

Brescia is in the eighth “seed”, that is the eighth step, with the Hamburg Towers. The draw mechanism must take into account the fact that two teams from the same country cannot be included in the same regular season group, even if, in the case of Italy, there are three participants (German, Trento and Reyer Venezia), and two will necessarily be coupled. To generate this first grid, the «club ranking» was taken into account, that is a value attributed to each club on the basis of the performances in Euroleague competitions in the last three seasons.

The actual draw will take place on Friday 8 July, live on Eurocup’s YouTube, Facebook and Twitter channels.

Seed number one is Hapoel Tel Aviv (Israel) and Joventut Badalona (Spain). Al 2, Gran Canaria (Spain) and Buducnost Podgorica (Montenegro). At 3, Olimpia Lubiana (Slovenia) and Reyer Venezia. Al 4, Trento and Bursaspor (Turkey). Seed 5 hosts Turk Telekom Ankara (Turkey) and Lithuanians from Lietkabelis Panevezys. The sixth is occupied by Promitheas Patras (Greece) and Bourg En Bresse (France). In the seventh there are Paris (France) and Ulm (Germany). Said of the Germani and the Germans of Hamburg in the “seed” number 8, in the 9 there are the Poles of Slask Wroclaw and the Romanians of Cluj-Napoca. The British London Lions and the Ukrainians of Prometey Slobozhanske close the grid.

Germani is at the fourth participation in Eurocup, after the experiences of 2018-2019, 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. It will be the first token in the Cup with the new format.
