After grabbing one of the most remarkable wins in EuroLeague history with last week's double overtime triumph at ASVEL, Bayern (4-6) will look to build further momentum against a Virtus team (7-3) still riding high in the playoffs places.
Game Notes: Bayern vs. Virtus

Bayern boss Pablo Laso will center his gameplan around trying to stop Tornike Shengelia, the top-ranked player in the competition with an average PIR of 22.6. Another threat from the Italian team is the shooting of Marco Belinelli, who averages 13.1 points per game on 44.6% three-point shooting. Bayern can counter that with Sylvain Francisco, whose late pair of triples were crucial to the victory at ASVEL and now has at least one three-pointer in nine of this season's 10 games.
