ratiopharm Ulm is shooting the ball well from downtown and from the foul line, and needs to do the same to have a better chance to beat a true contender like Valencia Basket.
Keys to victory: Ulm vs. Valencia



The German powerhouse ranks fourth in three-point shooting (40.0% 3FG) and third in free-throw accuracy (81.0% FT). Ulm, however, also leads the competition in turnovers at 17.0 per night. Cutting down the turnovers and preventing Valencia's playmakers, Sam Van Rossom and Neno Dimitrijevic, from dominating the game tempo should be two big keys to this game.

Valencia ranks third in two-point shooting (57.3% 2FG) and is also strong (80.4% FT, fourth overall) from the foul line. That allows Valencia to rank third in scoring (87.3 ppg.). Getting Cristiano Felicio into foul trouble should be a big key to this game and Valencia has two very experienced big men, Bojan Dubljevic and Mike Tobey, to make the difference in the paint. Valencia also needs to power the offensive glass and cash in for second-chance points; it is tied for first place in offensive rebounds at 12.6 per night.
