THE STAKES

These two teams have never met before and both are eager to reach the quarterfinals. Asvel got that far in 2006, when they lost the double-match with Aris, but it would be a first for the Ukrainian side.

THE TAKE

Both sides feature tough defenses. Donetsk finished the regular season as the rebounding leader (40.5 rpg), while Asvel ranked third in steals (9 spg). Against a backdrop of strong team play, individual talent could make the difference. The duel at shooting guard between Phil Goss and Ramel Curry should be outstanding, and take a look at Asvel’s 19-year-old Leo Westermann, one of France’s most talented young players.

Quotes Head Coaches

VINCENT, PIERRE
Asvel Basket
"Donetsk can damage you in many ways and is a very aggressive team. It has strong individuals and play a very defensive basketball. A team is usually the reflection of its coach. Sasa Obradovic was quite a strong defensive player - and his team plays that way, too."
OBRADOVIC, SASA
BC Donetsk
"I'm expecting a hard game. Asvel is a very well organized team with a perfect selection of young talents. If you analyze the plays of the Villeurbanne team, you will see the coach’s hand in both the offensive and defensive systems. Vincent Pierre is doing a very good job and his young team plays very smart basketball. For me it would be a pleasure to play against such a good coach. Also, I want to mention that Astroballe arena has very good acoustics, so we will face big pressure from the stands."

"We keep writing this great adventure which is the Eurocup. We have the heart to carry on and reach as far as possible. We will proudly defend our chances and will have no regrets at the end of the competition."
GLIEBOV, DMYTRO
BC Donetsk
"Last week, we had an extremely hard schedule, playing three games in five days. But we have won all of them and showed that we are ready for such examinations. We arrived to Lyon on Sunday and had enough time for preparation. Asvel is very good team that can run fastbreaks and likes to use transition plays. It means that we must to be focused on both offense and defense. Also it's very important to control the situation in the paint. We must remember that everything starts from good boxing out."

Head Coaches

VINCENT, PIERRE
Asvel Basket
"The third quarter was tough, Hilton had 3 fouls so we tried to compensate for it, but it didn’t work. We had very good actions, even though we made bad mistakes. I asked my players not to hedge on the pick-and-roll, but they continued to do it. We have to communicate more. It was difficult for us to get easy baskets. Collectively we managed to control the good players. Donetsk is a very good team, very aggressive, with experience and I think we didn’t do too bad."
OBRADOVIC, SASA
BC Donetsk
"I’m very satisfied with our game; we did a great defensive job. The key to the game was definitely our defence, our physical intensity and competitiveness. We knew that we had to stop the shooters and we managed to do it. We played smart. If we play like that for each game, we could go far in this competition."

Players

ARMSTRONG, HILTON
Asvel Basket
"It’s disappointing because we had to win all our games at home to hope to go far in the competition. We played tough, but they played smarter. We need more discipline to make less mistakes. We didn’t manage to play our game offensively or defensively."
RADENOVIC, IVAN
BC Donetsk
"We played very well tonight. It was our first game in the Last 16 and one of our best. We’re very satisfied because it came on the road. We managed to play tough for 40 minutes. It was a very good performance. We played strong from the beginning. We made open shots and kept playing well. Even if we increased the gap at the beginning of the third quarter, we were consistent all game."
