The second visit to Belgrade for our team will be special because the other gym will host the game. Partizan will face CSKA in the bigger Kombank Arena.
"It is never easy to play the same team 3-4 times during the season,” CSKA head coach Ettore Messina said. “Each game can be different and Partizan has a change also by bringing Tepic. So we have to be even better prepared than in our previous game in Belgrade. We will play in front of 20 thousands people and rebounding will be the major factor in this game. Even though we played good basketball in recent game against Zalgiris we should continue to improve. Besides we lost Kyle Hines to injury so we will need extra team effort to cover up for him.”
Besides Hines who continue to rehab after right ankle sprain, Alexander Gudumak stayed in Moscow to practice with the junior team.
