The next destination on the Army Men’s road tourney is Krasnodar. Our team landed here today to play vs Lokomotiv-Kuban in the VTB League.

“We have another road game just after our return from Bamberg, so we did not have much time to prepare,” CSKA head coach Dimitris Itoudis said. “Lokomotiv is a good, well-respected team that plays more aggressively now after recent coaching change. It will require energy, athleticism and focus from us, so we expect the game to be tough.”
