Eurocup 2010/2011 Final four

Tomorrow in Treviso, Italy, starts Eurocup 2010/2011 Final four. In Palaverde Arena four teams will compete with only one goal, to win Eurocup 2010/2011 title.

Unics Kazan (Russia), Cedevita Zagreb (Croatia), Benetton Bwin (Italy) and Cajasol Sevilla (Spain) will fight for title and possibility to play in Euroleague in next season.

Here is the schedule:

Semifinals – April 16, 2011

Unics Kazan vs. Cedevita Zagreb, 18:00 CET

Benetton Bwin vs. Cajasol Sevilla, 20:45 CET

3rd place game – April 17, 2011

Loser A vs. Loser B, 18:00 CET

Final game – April 17, 2011

Winner A vs. Winner B, 20:45 CET

In first semifinal Unics Kazan will play against Cedevita Zagreb. This will be very interesting match. Especially if we know that both teams like to play fast and shooting a lot for 3 pts.

Dontaye Draper from Cedevita Zagreb was named as MVP of 2010/2011 season. Draper played very good during whole season and scored double digits in every game, and also added 4 assists. Very fast player, and we can say that a lot will depend on him. Another one player who might be very important is Damjan Rudez, great 3 pts shooter and rebounder. We cannot forget Bracey Wright.

In Unics Kazan, probably the biggest star is Maciej Lampe, but also Marko Popovic, and “twin towers” Hasan Rizvic and Slavko Vranes. So, I believe that one of advantages for Unics could be domination under baskets, but we will see.

If you ask me, I would rather see Cedevita Zagreb in final and coach Aleksandar Petrovic.
