Round 8 of the 7DAYS EuroCup features several games in which old rivals will take each other's measure again while some low-ranked teams aim to change their fortunes before it's too late.
Round 8 rematches
On Tuesday in Group B, Buducnost VOLI Podgorica (5-2) will test its perfect road record against Gran Canaria (5-2). This is the seventh time these two sides meet in the 7DAYS EuroCup, and Gran Canaria has won every one of those games. The last time Buducnost traveled to Gran Canaria, in March of this year, the hosts won by 20 with Aleksander Balcerowski, Nicolas Brussino and John Shurna all scoring in double figures.
On Wednesday in Group A, Joventut Badalona (4-3) will try to get back to the winning ways when it takes on Umana Reyer Venice (5-2), who arrives to Badalona on a five-game winning streak. The last time Joventut played at home its own streak of 11 consecutive wins at Palau Olimpic was snapped. Now, Joventut wants to end Reyer's winning run. When the two teams met two seasons ago, Joventut pulled off a pair of 14-point wins, with Ante Tomic and Pau Ribas shining against current Reyer players Michael Bramos, Andrea De Nicolao and Mitchell Watt.
