The Aukštaitija team announced before the match that they would not show up in the field Gediminas Orelikas. The striker is averaging 15.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 17.4 utility points this season.
The victory would allow Lietkabel to rise to the third place in Group A. The latter guarantees a home-side advantage in the eighth final.
The French team can no longer rise above the third place, but may fall to the fourth. You can find more scenarios here.
Orelikas and George Gagičius did not help the hosts in the first match in Panevėžys, but managed to win 96:89.
“This team is characterized by quality and play,” Rival strategist Vincentas Collet spoke about Lietkabel. – This is the only team in the tournament that does not have Americans. Nevertheless, Lietkabelis remains competitive.
I still remember an exceptional match a few weeks ago when they played fabulous basketball and crushed Partizan with a 30-point advantage.
