THE TAKE

Red Star looks to remain atop Group F as it welcomes to Serbia CEZ Nymburk. Coach Steven Karadzic's Red Star needed a Tadija Dragicevic three-pointer at the buzzer to beat Telindus Oostende on the road and improve to 4-1. Red Star must be happy to have survived a very tough game, as it shot just 38% from the floor; turned the ball over 21 times; and was out-rebounded 38-29. Dragicevic scored 17 points and playmaker Omar Cook hit for 10 but the star duo combined for just 8-of-26 from the field. Shooting guard Steven Markovic saved Karadzic's team with 20 points off the bench, including 4-of-5 from long range. Red Star did an excellent job bouncing back from its only loss against Dynamo Moscow and the same should be expected against Nymburk, which Red Star beat by seven points on the road in Week One. Nymburk comes into the game at 2-3 after losing at Dynamo. Coach Muli Katzurin's CEZ shot 53% from the floor and made 14-of-15 foul shots but still couldn't beat Moscow, which hit 61% from the field, including 78% from inside the three-point stripe. Shooting guard Monty Mack and small forward Blake Schilb combined for 39 points off the bench while center Radoslav Rancik and point guard Arthur Lee each scored 14 points. Katzurin's Nymburk made 7-of-14 (50%) from long range, which is a good sign after the Czech team went 3-of-17 (18%) from downtown against Red Star in the Week One loss at home.

Head Coaches

KARADZIC, STEVAN
Red Star
"We played the worst we could. Without any energy in defense. I expected a crisis because we had so many hard games so far but this is a disaster. With weak defense we had no chances. Only Bakic and Cvetkovic played with heart. My apologies to our fans. And congratulations to Nymburk which deserved that win."
KATZURIN, MULI
CEZ Nymburk
"We knew that it is very tight to play in this gym. We were ready for a heavy game. We opened the game good and later managed to keep our leading margin until the end. We knew that Red Star has problems defending pick and roll game and we insisted on it. Red Star beat us at our homecourt in overtime and this is our full revenge."
