Last-place Group B team Promitheas Patras hosts Virtus Segafredo Bologna as both teams try to bounce back from Round 15 losses.
Keys to victory: Promitheas vs. Virtus



Promitheas has to share the ball
Promitheas has one of the lowest-scoring offenses in the EuroCup this season; only two teams average fewer than its 73.9 points. However, Promitheas moves the ball exceptionally well and on its low-scoring average manages 18.4 assists, which is ninth-best in the competition. To keep up against the offensive juggernaut that is Virtus, Promitheas’s players will need to continue sharing the ball and feeding one another for good looks.

Virtus needs more aggressive defense
Virtus averages a competition high 22.6 assists and scores the fourth-most points (85.1 ppg.), but it will be Virtus’s defense that will need to get the job done this week. Virtus allows 84.5 points and has not won a game this season where it scored fewer than 83 points. Virtus also lets opponents grab 12.0 offensive rebounds per contest. Virtus will need to be more aggressive defensively and more decisive on the defensive glass to limit the hosts' second-chance opportunities.
