The Spanish team then regained its usual high level by advancing past Ulm with a 79-88 victory last week, powered by 28 points and 6 assists from dynamic guard Andres Feliz. A major highlight of this tussle will be the backcourt battle between Feliz and TJ Shorts, who ranked as the regular season's top performer with an average PIR of 22.6. The French team won both Group A meetings between the teams, most recently taking an 89-82 home win in January as 17 points from Nadir Hifi helped overcome 20 from Feliz. Joventut knows it faces a very tough task in matching an opposing offense that averages a competition-high 99.3 points per game, and will look to experienced stars like Ante Tomic and Pau Ribas to rise to the pressure of the occasion.
