Buducnost is locked in a four-way tie for fifth place after winning two of its last three, with 17 points and 5 assists from recent signing Yogi Ferrell proving crucial in last week's narrow win at Slask. He faces a key battle with Cluj's key backcourt man DJ Seeley, while Buducnost will also be wary of big man Andrija Stipanovic after he netted 18 points in Cluj's comfortable Round 4 victory between the teams.
Mihai Silvasan, Cluj head coach
"It will be a game against a really talented team. They had high hopes for this season and they invested a lot in good players. Results are not influenced by the financial aspect all the time, even though they work a lot. We want to play good, have a positive attitude and win!"
Bryce Jones, Cluj player
"I think Buducnost is a very talented team. We have to go there and play good defense and play the right way in the offense. We have a great chance of winning!"
