Tomorrow CSKA will play the tenth round of the Euroleague away against the Greek team Olympiakos.
Twelve players will suit up for the Army team. They are: forwards Sergey Panov, Darius Songayla, Viktor Khryapa, and Sergey Monya; centers Victor Alexander and Aleksander Bashminov; guards Teodoros Papaloukas, Jon Robert Holden, Nikolas Chazivrettas, Evgeniy and Zakhar Pashutin and Nikolay Padius. Forward Andrey Sheyko received an interesting gift for this 30th birthday: a 3-day break from his coach to visit his family in Perm.
Concerning rumors circulating throughout Europe that Army guard Teodoros Papaloukas will transfer to either Siena or Virtus, they are nothing more than rumors, and the Greek player is preparing to confirm that in the game against his former club.
CSKA opponent Olympiakos is playing well as of late. The team has won nine games in a row — six in the Greek league and three in the Euroleague. Furthermore, the most recent victory against Ionikos (79-73) last Saturday was not an easy one for coach Subotic’s players. The team leaders—American Morris Evans (31 points, 12-16 FG) and Demarco Johnson (21 points, 15 rebounds) — came through in the end, but no one else was very impressive.
In the last matchup between these two teams in Moscow, CSKA toppled Olympiakos 74-67.
