El Bisbal Bàsquet advances in the Copa d’Espanya following a flawless group stage campaign, awaiting a draw that could pit the team against a higher-tier opponent with home-court advantage. Led by Èric Surís, the squad secured top spot in the group phase with three victories, concluding the opening round with a 79-71 away win over El Prat.
Group Stage Perfection and a Gritty Final Win
The side wrapped up its group commitments with a 3-0 record, demonstrating tactical discipline and resilience. In the final group fixture against El Prat, Sol Gironès Bisbal Bàsquet travelled with a severely depleted roster numbering just nine available players. Of those nine, one player logged only a minute and a half on the court, leaving a 40-minute workload distributed among just eight men.
The visiting side established control early, securing a 23-10 lead by the end of the first quarter sparked by an initial 13-1 run. Continuing the offensive momentum into the second period with another 23-12 scoring run, Surís’s team built a 46-22 advantage by halftime, eventually extending the margin to 30 points. Although El Prat staged a second-half resurgence under coach Mario del Campo, cutting the deficit to 12 heading into the final frame and closing within seven points late in the game, Bisbal maintained composure to seal the victory.
