MADRID, 25 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The ‘Final Four’ of the FIBA Basketball Champions League to be played in Bilbao will have a sure team in the Endesa League after this Friday’s draw for the quarterfinals paired BAXI Manresa with Unicaja, while that the Lenovo Tenerife will be measured against the Turkish Tofas Bursa.
The team from Manresa, currently third in the domestic championship, will have the ‘field factor’ in their favor for having finished first in their group, just like the team from Tenerife, so they will play the first game and, if necessary, the third , with the support of his public.
The knockout rounds for these quarterfinals will begin on April 5 and the four winners will seek to replace Hereda San Pablo Burgos in the ‘F4’ that will host the Bilbao Arena between May 6 and 8 and which could have a Spanish final since the draw for the semifinals would not cross them.
Thus, the winner of BAXI-Unicaja would face that of U-BT Cluj-Napoca-MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg, and Tenerife, champion in 2017 and runner-up in 2019 of this competition, would meet the winner of Hapoel U-NET Holon- SIG Strasbourg.
