Valencia Basket closes the BKT EuroCup Regular Season hosting Cosea JL Bourg-en-Bresse

Valencia Basket men’s team returns home to close the group stage of the BKT EuroCup, hosting Cosea JL Bourg-en-Bresse (Wednesday, 5th, 20:30h, Fonteta, Movistar Deportes 3) in a match that will mark the definitive end of the 18th round of the BKT EuroCup.

 

The orange team will try to finish the first round by extending its good form in this competition and aiming for a win that would definitively secure the virtual first place in the general standings at the end of the group stage, which comes with the advantage of home-court advantage in all the playoffs.

 

However, only a huge loss combined with another big win by Bahcesehir College Istanbul in Badalona could prevent the orange team from finishing the first phase in that privileged position.

 

Valencia Basket must be careful with the ball in their matchup against the team that has more steals in a game between the two teams that dominate offensive rebounding in the tournament.

 

The orange squad enters this round in first place of Group B, with a 15-2 record.
