CSKA rival in the half finals of the Euroleague would be TAU Vitoria. According to the schedule of the evening practices the Army club worked earlier than the rival.

All the players CSKA brought to Madrid took part in the practice including Alexey Savrasenko who worked on his shoulder recovery and Anatoly Kashirov who sprained his ankle at the practice yesterday. Both of the players would not be able to help CSKA in the games. But on the other hand Tomas Van Den Spiegel and Nikos Zisis did maximum to step on the court of the Palau de los Deportes. ‘Both players worked hard to join us, - says CSKA head coach Ettore Messina.

- The game versus TAU would be a big game like any in the Final Four. Once more the key for the game would be the defense and rebounding control that might help to control the tempo of the game. But in fact everything can be important in the kind of games.
