A game against Ulm is upon us in Stožice

Cedevita Olimpija will host ratiopharm Ulm in Round 7 of the 7DAYS EuroCup regular season on Tuesday in Stožice Arena.

Host Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana (0-6) will be looking for its first win of the season when it welcomes ratiopharm Ulm (3-3) on Tuesday night in a Group A duel. This will be the seventh time these two teams meet in the EuroCup in one of the classic duels amongst the 20 teams this season. They currently stand at 3-3 in their head-to-head record. Cedevita dropped another game last week at Lietkabelis, 104-98, despite Amar Alibegovic’s 19 points.

On the other hand, Ulm comes from a heroic 105-106 decision at Prometey, in which Yago Dos Santos’s 26 points plus 10 assists helped his team break its scoring mark in the 7DAYS EuroCup.

STATEMENTS AHEAD OF THE GAME:

Jurica Golemac, head coach of Cedevita Olimpija:
“After all the trips, during which we only managed to train once, we have only one day to prepare for Tuesday’s demanding game with Ulm. Our opponents did not play last weekend, so they will surely be well prepared for us. Ulm is a team that has extremely good players, good offensive players and very talented players, one of the best young players in the whole of Europe. They play modern, fast basketball, with a lot of passes and excellent shooters. That’s why we have a tough job ahead of us on Tuesday. We have to show a better performance than in the previous game. We have to continue to rise and do our best to get the first victory in the 7DAYS EuroCup. I invite all fans to join us in Stožice, because we really need their help.”

Karlo Matković, player of Cedevita Olimpija:
“We have a challenging match ahead of us in front of the home fans, but we will have to play with a lot of energy. We want as many visitors as possible to come to Stožice and to support us, because we want to get the first victory in the 7DAYS EuroCup. We are preparing for Tuesday’s match, step by step all the players are coming back to the floor. Our wish is that after the victory in Zagreb, we will also win in Ljubljana, and thus record two consecutive successes. Our job is to put on the best performance possible, but at the same time I really hope that the Arena will be as full as possible, because we need the help of the fans.”
