In the second phase of the competition, the top two in each of the four groups will advance to the quarter-finals.
This is how coach Dimitris Priftis presented the race:
«Bosna is a tough and physical team. They always play with great intensity, with a lot of contact and aggressive defense on the ball. We will have to be focused in attack to face a tough rearguard, limiting turnovers and making good decisions against their pressure. It is a match that requires energy and solidity, both offensively and defensively. Last night they played an excellent match against Red Star, a Euroleague team. They are very competitive overall and for this reason we will have to prepare ourselves mentally for a difficult challenge.”
The match will be directed by the referee team composed of Mehmet Sahin (TUR), Elvis Binders-Coders (LAT) and Tomasz Wit Langowski (POL) and will be broadcast live on Teletricolore (Digital Terrestrial channel 97) and on the FIBA YouTube channel.
