UNICS will host Igokea in WINLINE and VTB United League joint tournament on Wednesday.
UNICS (Russia) vs Igokea (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
Time: 19:00 (Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Kazan, Basket Hall
Broadcast: VK Video, WINLINE Basket Cup website
UNICS: In the previous game, the Kazan team lost undefeated status. However, the loss against Uralmash did not significantly complicate UNICS place in the tournament. A win over the Bosnian club will bring the hosts as close as possible to the playoff. In the last League game, UNICS scored 119 points and broke the season’s scoring record, extending the winning streak to 11 games. Recent signing Ty Brewer is in excellent shape, and Paris Lee is close to returning. The game will be Velimir Perasovic team’s first international game of the season, which should provide additional motivation.
Igokea: In January, the Bosnian team is 1-3 in Adriatic League games. Igokea is thinking about strengthening the roster. At the end of the month, national team forward Aleksandar Lazic joined the team. Igokea started the WINLINE Basket Cup with 3 losses, so Nenad Stefanovic team will have the last chance to qualify from the group in Kazan.
