Two teams aiming to bounce back from bad losses go head to head as Milan (9-13) tests Barcelona’s (15-7) fragile record on the road.
Ettore Messina, Milan: 'We face a high-level opponent'



Milan became the only visiting team to win at Palau Blaugrana in December, with 21 points from Devon Hall inspiring an 86-90 triumph. Barca has lost six of its last eight road games, most recently getting pumped 98-74 at Efes last week despite 18 points from Willy Hernangomez. Inconsistent Milan is also coming off a damaging loss, suffering a late collapse to lose 84-72 at Valencia. That game featured the debut of new signing Rodney McGruder and the veteran guard will look to impose himself on Tomas Satoransky on Friday.
Ettore Messina, Milan head coach
"We face a high-level opponent and the keys will be working well on our transition defense and against their pick-and-roll solutions. We will have Maodo Lo available, so it is one more option to implement in a game we will approach ready to give up our best to try to win and gift our fanbase a big night in a packed Forum."
