After gaining its first win of the season in Round 3, Aris (1-2) will look to build more momentum by piling more misery on winless Slask (0-3). Excellent defense was the key to Aris's nervous 68-66 victory over Turk Telekom last week, with no points scored in the final 3 minutes. But there was also a strong offensive contribution from in-form guard Vassilis Toliopoulos, who has scored 19 and 22 points in the last two games. Slask will again lean on the all-round contribution of big man Dusan Miletic, who ranks second in the league with a performance index rating of 24.7 per game.
Pre-game quotes: Slask vs. Aris

Oliver Vidin, Slask head coach
"For sure game against Aris will not be an easy one. In their last win against Turk Telekom, Aris showed that they have enough strength to play against any team in EuroCup competition. I expect a very good and tough game from both sides."
Giannis Kastritis, Aris head coach
"We have a very demanding game on the road, against Slask, a tough team with great size. They always compete hard. We have to take care of the rebounds as they are very aggressive crashing the boards and at the same time being smart and decisive in our offense will be important factor of the game."


Silvio De Sousa, Aris player
"After three losses in the beginning of our season, we have three consecutive wins and that gives us a psychological boost. To continue this run, we have to beat a very good team, as Slask, on the road. Our opponent will be thirsty for the first win in BKT EuroCup, so we have to be focused for 40 minutes, play strong defense and follow the coach’s plan. BKT EuroCup is a very high quality competition and you have to play your best to get the wins you need."
