Two of the most exciting teams to watch in Group A meet on Wednesday when Frutti Extra Bursaspor hosts ratiopharm Ulm. Bursaspor (2-1) comes off its first loss of the season and looks to bounce back in front of its fans. Ulm (1-2) has lost its last two games - the last one in overtime against Germani Brescia - and should be ready to bounce back against last season's runner-up. Expect an exciting game at Tofas Spor Salonu.
Bursaspor, Ulm look to bounce back



Bursaspor has been playing with a shortened rotation due to injuries. Against Prometey Slobozhenske, foul trouble prevented the team from being more competitive. Help is on the way with the signing of swingman Sindarius Thornwell last week. Derek Needham (16.0 ppg.) and Onuralp Bitim (16.0 ppg.) have been its top scorers until now and Ahmet Duverioglu (10.3 ppg., 8.0 rpg.) leads the team in PIR (18.3). Bursaspor needs to improve its free throw percentage (58.5%) to be even more competitive.

Ulm is rebounding well at the offensive end (11.0 orpg.) but is not doing that great until its own basket, getting just 24.7 defensive boards per night. Better, team-oriented boxing out is needed to get the defensive rebounds and find easy points in transition through Yago Matheus (8.7 ppg., 3.7 apg.), Juan Nunez (5.3 ppg., 5.3 apg.) and Fedor Zugic (9.0 ppg.). Stopping Duverioglu down low is key and Ulm relies on Sagaba Konate to do so.
