Few teams have dominated their domestic competition in recent years like CSU Asesoft Ploiesti, the perennial Romanian League champion, now ready to reach even higher in its ULEB Cup debut. Founded in 1998, Asesoft started a revolution in Romanian basketball once it overcame some financial problems in its early years. It was not until 2001 when the team started to soar, reaching the Romanian League finals that year before losing against West Petrom. Asesoft soon established itself as an emerging power, reaching the Romanian League semifinals in 2002 and 2003. Asesoft had to wait until the 2003-04 season to make its debut in European competitions, taking part in the 2004 FIBA EuroCup Challenge. Few could think, however, that the best was yet to come, as Asesoft was about to make history. With players like Nicolae Toader, Milojica Zekovic or Vladimir Arnautovic, Asesoft downed Dinamo Erbasu Bucuresti to win its first Romanian League title. Asesoft then became the first Romanian team to win a European title, the 2005 FIBA EuroCup Challenge. The club survived a tough group stage, then beat Boncourt and Banvit in a second group stage to meet Lokomotiv Rostov in the title game in Ploiesti. Vladimir Kuzmanovic sent a whole city to celebrate when he hit the game-winning free throws with eight seconds left to make Asesoft beat Lokomotiv 75-74 in thrilling fashion. Kuzmanovic led his team with 28 points on 6-of-7 triples while Ivan Krasic added 14. Back at home, Asesoft has been rolling, barely losing games to conquer five consecutive Romanian League titles. Asesoft now becomes the first Romanian team to join the ULEB Cup, as it hopes to represent its country in the best possible way while it tries to please thousands of fans in a new, tough basketball adventure.
