Winning over the Hungarian Alba Fehervar in the 6th Eurocup round, BCNN is now leading its group F without reserve. The lasting series of the 3-pointers from the "citizens" in the first half and the confident play in the end made this victory the reality for our team.

Zoran Lukic, head coach BCNN:

Some say that certain Eastern European counties can't play basketball. Looking at Alba which took over the Turkish TED-Ankara in the last tour you can see it totally wrong. For such matter we've started this game too soft. My players were not aggressive enough in defence which let the opponent to lead at some point in the beginning. Fortunately we made some subsequent changes on the floor which helped us to break through and control it almost till the end. Though there appeared some nervous episode in the final but my guys pulled themselves together and didn't let it go.

«Alba Fehervar» - «Nizhny Novgorod»: 78 – 84 (21 – 18, 17 – 29, 19 – 19, 19 – 18)

«Alba»: Moore (21 pts.), Kemp (16), Juhos (13), Hobbs (11)

«BCNN»: Panin (20 + 6 rebounds), Brezec (15 + 7 rebounds), Antonov (13 + 6 rebounds), Paul (9), Babbitt (8 + 5 rebounds), Khvostov (7), Savelyev (5), Gubanov (4), Baburin (3), Golovin (0), Ivlev (0).
