The 7DAYS EuroCup Quarterfinals will get underway in the capital of Turkiye where [Turk Telekom Ankara will take on ratiopharm Ulm](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2022-23/turk-telekom-ankara-ratiopharm-ulm/U2022/190/). Turk Telekom reached the playoffs by placing second in Group B with a 13-5 record before holding off Germani Brescia in the eighthfinals. ratiopharm Ulm was third in the regular season in Group A with an 11-7 mark and then rallied to knock off Buducnost VOLI Podgorica in the opening round of the knockout stages.

### The All-EuroCup candidates

Five players from this series are ranked among the top 10 in the EuroCup this season in performance index rating. Not only are these five stars all key figures for this showdown, but those from the winning team will see their chances to secure spots on the All-EuroCup Teams and even to be chosen as this season's MVP rise. Ulm center [Bruno Caboclo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/bruno-caboclo/012096/) tops the list; he leads all active players in average performance index rating with 19.0 per game. The only players above him either did not make the playoffs (Yogi Ferrell of Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana, 21.4) or were eliminated in the eighthfinals (Sam Dekker of London Lions, 19.6). However, what separates Caboclo from the pack is that he joined Ulm midway through the season and has played in only 10 games. A big game on this stage and getting Ulm to the semis would force voters to take notice.

Ulm's other top candidate is point guard [Yago Dos Santos](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/yago-dos-santos/012044/), who is 10th with an average PIR of 17.4. Turk Telekom boasts a trio of All-EuroCup candidates in [Tyrique Jones](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/tyrique-jones/011981/), [Jerian Grant](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/jerian-grant/011204/) and [Axel Bouteille](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/axel-bouteille/003840/). Jones is tied for sixth in PIR with 18.1. Grant (17.9) is eighth and Bouteille (17.6) ninth. The big prize for winning this game is of course a ticket to the semifinals, but a nice shining All-EuroCup Trophy would be a nice bonus.

### Are upsets contagious?

On paper, Turk Telekom is the favorite in this game. It had the better regular-season record, is the higher seed and plays at home. However, all upsets must begin with some self-belief and no team knows quite how that feels like Ulm. Last season, Ulm made history as the No. 8 seed when it upended top seed Joventut Badalona in the eighthfinals and then gave eventual champion Virtus Segafredo Bologna all it could handle in the quarterfinals; Ulm led 73-77 with 3 and a half minutes remaining before Virtus took over in the final minutes.

Though there have been many changes on the Ulm roster – and the bench – since then, there are five returnees who give the team the experience needed to launch another upset. [Philipp Herkenhoff](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/philipp-herkenhoff/006997/) shined with 12 points and 7 boards as a starter against Joventut, but was injured and could not face Virtus. He was replaced by homegrown center [Nicolas Bretzel](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/nicolas-bretzel/007952/), who went for 11 and 8 against Virtus. Guard [Thomas Klepeisz](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/thomas-klepeisz/010582/) started both games and scored 14 points on 4-for-4 three-point shooting against Virtus. [Karim Jallow](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/karim-jallow/005422/) and teenager [Fedor Zugic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/fedor-zugic/009033/) also played prominent roles last season and are back. Is that enough to trigger an upset against Turk Telekom? It's a good start!

### Turk Telekom's advantage inside

Turk Telekom has found success going inside all season, whether by pounding the ball in the paint, throwing down alley-oops or getting put-backs through Jones and [Michael Eric](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/michael-eric/007360/), getting mid-range jumpers from [Nate Sestina](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/nathan-sestina/011980/) and Bouteille, or penetration from Grant and [Tony Taylor](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/tony-taylor/005850/). Altogether, they combined for Turk Telekom to make 60.7% of the team's two-pointers, which was second-best in the regular season, and 22.0 two-pointers per game, which was third-best.

That strength of Turk Telekom could be especially critical in the quarterfinals against Ulm, which allowed its opponents to make 58.0% of their two-point shots. That is the third-highest number in the competition this season. Ulm has also given up a higher-than-average amount of offensive rebounds (11.0 per game, seventh-most in the EuroCup). In the eighthfinals, Ulm held Buducnost to 46.8% two-point shooting (22 for 47) and 9 offensive boards, and the hope for Ulm is that it can duplicate that type of defensive effort led by Caboclo, [Josh Hawley](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/joshua-hawley/012024/) and Herkenhoff, the latter of whom is first getting back to game speed after missing most of the season through injury.

Breakdown: Turk Telekom Ankara vs. ratiopharm Ulm

Turk Telekom Ankara v ratiopharm Ulm (2023-04-19T15:30:00.000Z)

Paris Basketball survived a thriller to become the lone lower seed to advance past through the 7DAYS EuroCup Eighthfinals last week. With nearly all the favorites advancing but just two scoring double-digits wins, things could be very tight in the quarterfinals. 

That begs the question: How well has this group of teams finished close games this season? The table below ranks the remaining contenders by their clutch efficiency differential. A clutch situation, in this case, is defined as any possession in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime with the margin on the scoreboard within 5 points. 

While some teams have played more clutch possessions than others – Prometey, for example, has played nearly twice as many as Hapoel – the fact remains that how these teams performed in key moments is a big reason they have made it this far.  The fact that all these teams have a positive differential and most of them are exceptionally high speaks to that fact. To this point, Hapoel, and Promitheas have set the curve in late game situations, but with five teams posting a differential above the 0.20-mark, most of these teams have done a spectacular job finding ways to make things work when the moment has called for it.

Making things work is the key here as the ways teams score late in games tends to vary and does not always line up with their playing styles. While some teams like Prometey stay true to form, putting steady pressure on the rim, others, like Promitheas, have gotten a huge boost from their timely free-throw shooting when holding late leads. 

Ultimately, clutch play is defined by whether a team gets the job done and not necessarily how they do it. Turk Telekom was perhaps the best example of that this season as they did not shoot the ball well in many tight contests but tightened the screws well enough defensively to come out ahead more often than not.

A team's ability to navigate late-game situations as a unit is also more crucial than usual because clutch scoring at the individual level has flattened out this season. No player on the remaining teams in the field has scored more than 0.26 on the season. Who can be expected to play the hero on a given night is anyone's guess. 

All of which sets up what should be an exciting finish, with the Prometey vs. Promitheas and Joventut vs. Hapoel matchups offering perhaps the most fireworks, given the spectacular way all of those teams have closed out wins this season. 

Ranking the quarterfinalist closers

When Joventut Badalona was eliminated by ratiopharm Ulm in a 1-8 matchup in the 2022 7DAYS EuroCup Eighthfinals, it left many of the club's supporters wondering what could have been. This year, the Spanish side yet again made it to the eighthfinals, this time as the No. 2 seed, but it overcame its mental block to defeat the seventh seeded London Lions 89-78 to book its place in the quarterfinals. At last, Joventut's fans can dream again.

Joventut can start to dream after overcoming mental hurdle

When Joventut Badalona was eliminated by ratiopharm Ulm in a 1-8 matchup in the 2022 7DAYS EuroCup Eighthfinals, it left many of the club's supporters wondering what could have been. This year, the Spanish side yet again made it to the eighthfinals, this time as the No. 2 seed, but it overcame its mental block to defeat the seventh-seeded London Lions 89-78 to book its place in the quarterfinals. At last, Joventut's fans can dream again.

It was not necessarily a vintage performance by Joventut, with London remaining in the game until the latter stages of the fourth quarter, but the hosts did enough to always keep the visitors at arm's length. In fact, in a game that Joventut led from start to finish, the closest that London got after the opening make of the game – a three-pointer by Guillem Vives – was finding itself down 24-20 a few minutes into the second quarter.

Joventut Badalona - London Lions | Eighthfinals Highlights | 2022-23 7DAYS EuroCup

There were various points in the game where London appeared to be on the verge of a comeback, particularly in the third quarter, but Joventut always came up with big buckets to ensure the gap never got smaller than 6 or 8 points. For London head coach Ryan Schmidt, that was one of the big differences between the two teams: "That's a team tonight where every time we got it to 6 or 4, they'd make you pay and they'd get it back to 8 or they'd get it back to 10. That's just where we need to get to."

Joventut finished the game with six players in double figures, led by Ante Tomic with 16 points, and that variety to its offense caused London all sorts of problems. London, for its part, had three players reach double figures, while star player Sam Dekker, who was not 100% after suffering an ankle injury in Round 17, finished with 8 points. One of the keys to the game was Joventut's ability to get second-chance opportunities, as it more than doubled London's number of rebounds, bringing down 50 compared to 23 for the visitors. What's more, of those 50 boards, 15 came on the offensive end.

The 19 turnovers that Joventut committed will perhaps be a cause for concern for head coach Carles Duran, so that is something that his squad will look to clean up before it takes on another of the favorites to win the EuroCup, Hapoel Vegan Friendly Tel Aviv, in the quarterfinals.

Game News

Joventut and Hapoel enjoyed equally impressive home records in the regular season, going 8-1, but this is where seeding becomes important. As the No. 2 seed from Group A, Joventut will be able to host this game at Palau Olimpic de Badalona because Hapoel ended the regular season as the No. 3 seed in Group B. For what it's worth, Hapoel is 5-4 away from Tel Aviv in 2022-23.

"The crowd always \[helps us\]. When the Olimpic is like this, it's much easier to play," said Tomic after the win against London. The Joventut fans will need to once again be out in full force when Hapoel comes to town, as the visiting team is expected to bring thousands of fans to Badalona in the hope of making it feel like a home game for their side. 

Yet, for Joventut, overcoming its nightmare from last season means that it can now start to dream, albeit in the knowledge that it will be a very difficult game against a Hapoel team that had eight MVP of the Round winners during the 18-game regular season (J'Covan Brown x2, Jalen Hoard x2, Jordan McRae x3 and Chinanu Onuaku). 

The best plays of Joventut Badalona in its 89-78 victory against the London Lions in the 2023 7DAYS EuroCup Eighthfinals.

Joventut's best plays vs. London

There is not much to separate the two teams, but with Tomic's ability to create from the 5 position, the playmaking of Vives and the scoring of youthful quartet Joel Parra, Kyle Guy, Henry Ellenson and Andres Feliz, Joventut has no reason to be pessimistic. All six players finished the eighthfinals tie with London in double figures and they will pose a big threat against a Hapoel side that has struggled on the road. 

One year on from one of the toughest defeats in Joventut's recent history, the club can now look forward in the knowledge that it needs just three more victories to reach the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. But ask anyone at the club and they'll tell you the same thing: "We're taking it one game at a time."

Turk Telekom aced a tough test for first-ever quarterfinal berth

It has never been easy for Turk Telekom Ankara in the 7DAYS EuroCup, and [its eighthfinal home game against Germani Brescia](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2022-23/turk-telekom-ankara-germani-brescia/U2022/184/) of Italy on Thursday was no exception.

In six seasons until this one since first playing in the EuroCup back in 2004-05, Turk Telekom had managed just two winning campaigns.

The first and best of those, a 9-1 run through the 2007-08 regular season, ended abruptly with a 26-point loss in Game 1 of the Last 32 to UNICS Kazan that Turk Telekom could not make up despite winning the next and last showdown of the series 96-93 and dropping out on aggregate score. 

Three fruitless seasons over the next 12 years ended a year ago, when the team's 9-8 regular season record begat an eighthfinals berth. Again, however, Turk Telekom could go no further as it lost at Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana 93-80.

The current season has looked different from the get-go as an early five-game winning streak led to the team rising through Group B to finish second at 13-5.

Still, new head coach Erdem Can was well award before Thursday's tipoff of Brescia's quality and the risks of the do-or-die format.

"There is no favorite for this game; it's one and done," he warned on his way into the arena. "You need to be focused from the first second to the end of the 40 minutes."

And he was right.

It wasn't until almost 30 minutes into the game, after the two teams had been through 9 ties and 18 lead changes, that a put-back by big man Tyrique Jones on the third-quarter buzzer changed the momentum for good. Turk Telekom scored the first 8 points of the final quarter, too, for a 10-0 run that finally broke Brescia's upset bid.

Tyrique Jones (14 points) Highlights vs. Germani Brescia Leonessa, 04/13/2023

Tyrique Jones's perfect shooting vs. Germani Brescia

Where the first half had been a three-point shootout, with Brescia scoring 24 of its 38 points from downtown to lead by 2 at the break, Turk Telekom slowly turned the game inside during the last 20 minutes. With Jones making 5 of 5 inside two-pointers and the hosts seizing 9 offensive rebounds after halftime, Turk Telekom wore down the visitors.

"Our mindset \[changed in the second half\]," Can said afterward. "We were a little bit on our heels and slow. That's not our game. Defensively we were OK, but offensively we were too slow and nervous, and we changed that. We were more aggressive going to the rim, and then we started to get our rhythm, finding some open looks, and then we got what we needed."

That aggressiveness was epitomized, too, by forward Erkan Yilmaz throwing his body all over the floor to finish with 8 points, a career-high 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks to always keep the pressure on Brescia.

The result was not only Turk Telekom advancing to the quarterfinals for the first time ever, but getting to host that game next Wednesday against ratiopharm Ulm.

In do-or-die elimination rounds, the eventual winners almost always need to survive at least one game that looks like it can go the other way. Although Thursday's final score of 77-69 may not show it, Turk Telekom dodged a bullet. And Can knew it.

"Brescia is such a great team; they know how to play this level of competition," Can said. "So it was a great, great test for us."

The last of 9 ties and 19 lead changes came on a put-back by Tyrique Jones on the third-quarter buzzer, then Turk Telekom scored the first 8 points of the fourth to take control the rest of the way.

Game Videos

Berk Demir for the hosts and Gabriel for Brescia traded triples to open the scoring, then repeated themselves for a 6-6 tie. Gabriel put Brescia ahead with free throws and a dunk at 7-12, but Sestina slammed and blasted a triple to put Turk Telekom up 14-12. Massinburg flipped the scoreboard from the arc before Bouteille beat the buzzer for a 17-15 Turk Telekom lead after 10 minutes. Massinburg buried 2 more triples around one from Bouteille for a 20-21 Brescia advantage early in the second quarter. Nicola Akele made it 20-25 for Brescia from deep before Bouteille scored 3 the hard way and Yilmaz converted a fastbreak at 25-25. Jones broke pair of ties with inside baskets, but David Cournooh and Christian Burns matched him at 29-29. Cournooh and Amadeo Della Valle joined Brescia's three-point parade for a new high lead, 38-31, but Yilmaz and Tony Taylor filled a 5-0 closing run for Turk Telekom to draw within 36-38 at halftime.

Duelling dunks by Tai Odiase and Jones gave way to Bouteille's triple to flip Turk Telekom in front, 41-40, right after the break. Jerian Grant added a layup for the hosts , but Petrucelli beat the shot clock with a one-legged triple to tie 43-43. Demir reappeared from the arc but Massinburg and Mike Cobbins dunked for Brescia to take back a 46-47 edge. Back and forth they went until Bouteille's next triple made it 51-49. Massinburg stopped and popped to tie again but a three-point play by Taylor and a free throw by Yilmaz took Turk Telekom ahead 57-53. Burns and Massinburg, with a three-point play, forced the seventh lead change of the quarter, at 57-58 for Brescia, but Jones put back a miss on the buzzer for the eighth one and a 59-58 Turk Telekom advantage after 30 minutes.

Taylor and Yilmaz fed Jones for a pair of baskets to raise the Turk Telekom lead to 64-58 early in the fourth. When Yilmaz found Sestina for a triple, the hosts had the game's high lead, 67-58. Petrucelli had 5 points to cut the difference to 71-65 with 5 minutes left. Bouteille scored 90 seconds later on a floater at 73-65. There it stood until Massinburg's fastbreak layup at 73-69 with 41 seconds left. Grant hit free throws next to seal the deal and send Turk Telekom forward to the quarterfinals.
