THE TAKE

Two teams looking to end their Euroleague seasons in winning fashion will meet in Milano, Italy, on Thursday when Armani Jeans hosts Asseco Prokom. Armani Jeans has dropped three in a row as its Quarterfinal Playoffs hopes disappeared, while Prokom is winless in the Top 16 and mired in a 12-game losing streak going back to Week 3 of the regular season. Prokom’s best game in the Top 16 so far came in Poland against Milano – a 60-62 loss. Hollis Price dominated early in that game with 17 first-period points and David Hawkins led the way late. Those two could again be involved in deciding the game. They team with Luca Vitali and Jobey Thomas to form a deep backcourt for Milano head coach Piero Bucchi. Prokom counters with David Logan, Dan Ewing and Tyrone Brazelton. Injuries keeping Prokom forward Koko Archibong and center Adam Hrycaniuk out could spell trouble for the Polish champs, leaving Pat Burke, Qyntel Woods and Ronnie Burrell to contend with Pape Sow, Mason Rocca and Mike Hall, who is coming off a season-high 27 point performance in last week’s loss at Olympiacos. The small forward matchup could be of particular interest, with the smaller Hawkins and the bigger Woods potentially matching up at times. Milano is the favored team, but both teams will surely have their own motivations. If the game gets out of hand, however, it would not be a surprise to see either or both coaches clear their bench and give their youngsters and reserves some extra minutes in this season finale. GAME NOTES Armani Jeans Milano Guard David Hawkins has scored in double figures and made at least 1 three-pointer in eight straight Euroleague appearances. His 14.7 points, 82.4% free-throw shooting and 2.8 assists per game all represent Euroleague career highs for a season. Point guard Hollis Price has made a three-pointer in each of his 25 career Euroleague appearances. Price scored 17 points in the first period of the game against Asseco Prokom earlier this season. Guard Jobey Thomas failed to make a three-pointer in a game last week for the first time this season. Big man Pape Sow played for Asseco Prokom last season, helping the team win the Polish League championship. He played under Prokom’s head coach Tomas Pacesas and alongside current players Filip Dylewicz, Adam Lapeta and Przemyslaw Zamojski. Asseco Prokom Guard David Logan is second in the Euroleague in scoring this season with 17.1 points per game. He has scored in double figures and drilled at least 1 three-pointer in 10 straight games. Logan has recorded at least 1 steal in 14 straight games and leads the Euroleague with 2.8 steals per game this season. Asseco Prokom has lost 12 straight Euroleague games going back to Week 3 of the season. Asseco Prokom has lost 12 consecutive Euroleague road games dating back to November 2007 when it beat Virtus Bologna 75-87 in Italy. Not a single player that scored in that game is on Prokom’s current roster. Wednesday, March 11, 2009 Euroleague.net

Our first game against Armani Jeans was not lucky for us but today we are stronger than five weeks ago. We have learned a lot and Qyntel Woods plays beter and better; he has become an important player of Asseco Prokom. On Thursday we will bid Euroleague farewell this season and I hope that a victory will be our last word."

DYLEWICZ, FILIP Asseco Prokom "We were disappointed and angry after the first game against Armani Jeans. It was only our fault that we lost it. I am sure that we will play much better in Milan but it doesn't guarantee a victory of course. Armani Jeans is a very dangerous team, especially at home, but we are not afraid of them. I would be happy with a win and me and my teammmates will do our best to defeat our opponents."

Asseco Prokom captured its first victory in the Euroleague Top 16 and ended a 12-game losing streak by cruising past Armani Jeans Milano 72-96.

Luca Vitali cut that to 2 points with a long ball and 2 Sow foul shots had the hosts trailing 12-14. That’s when Prokom began pulling away. Burke threw down a dunk and Burrell followed with a follow dunk to push the lead to 6 points.

Logan made 2 free throws after an unsportsmanlike foul by Thomas and then Dylewicz made it a 4-point possession with a hook shot for a 46-62 cushion.

BUCCHI, PIERO AJ Milano "Sopot put more energy into this game tonight, they really wanted to catch their first victory in the Top 16. We didn't take any risks with our players. I chose to give some rest to the injured guys, thinking about the next games in the Italian League. I'm very happy about Jobey Thomas's performance: he had a chance to prove his skills tonight, and he did a very nice job."

We controlled the turnovers, and we played very good basketball here. We are getting better as a team, we have played a lot of tough teams and we needed time to build a chemistry with our new players, but we did a pretty good job in the regular season, we are happy with the team we are building. Woods is a very good player and a nice guy, he help us a lot because we need this kind of player in our team. He came to us out of shape, but he's getting better game after game."

We started strong in this Top 16, we had a chance to qualify for the playoffs. Overall we can say that we had a good Euroleague run, especially after starting 0-4 in the competition."

"Anytime you play it's important, even if it's not important for the standings. Honestly, we didn't do anything to play a good game tonight. We started strong in this Top 16, we had a chance to qualify for the playoffs. Overall we can say that we had a good Euroleague run, especially after starting 0-4 in the competition."

WOODS, QYNTEL Asseco Prokom "We just came out to play hard tonight. Playing again in Italy was not such a special motivation for me after being cut from Bologna. I just look forward and try not to think about the past. I think we are working good and getting better as a team. That will help us for the end of the Polish League."
