After the yellow and blue Astana two Ukrainian clubs in a row will be our team's opponents. In the second straight game CSKA will face the Euroleague newcomer – Budivelnik Kiev.
“Our first Euroleague game against Nanterre showed perfectly that you should not expect anything to be taken easy in this Euroleague season,” CSKA head coach Ettore Messina said. “Budivelnik is a good and well-prepared team and they also gave hard time to Fenerbahce-Ulker last week. Our adaptation period after the trip to America is over and I hope that we will be able to demonstrate the same quality of basketball as we did in the last quarters of two recent games. We need to do it for 40 minutes.”
CSKA works out with the same roster as during the preparations for the previous games. Valery Ershkov practices with the main team when he is not busy with the junior team games.
