The schedule continues Friday with a road fixture in Neuquén against Independiente.

Opponent Standing and Roster Additions

Biguá enters the contest searching for traction after dropping its first two group fixtures. The Neuquén side fell 68–63 on the road against Independiente and subsequently lost 75–64 at home to Quilmes. For today’s match, Biguá added floor reinforcement with the debut of Florencia Ortiz, who previously featured for Riachuelo, Gorriones, and Ameghino, and arrives following a stint abroad with Iccan de Macas in Ecuador.
