THE TAKE

Turkish club Galatasaray Cafe Crown hopes to embark on a new era of success when it begins its Group C campaign as hosts to Akasvayu Girona. The Istanbul club went through various phases where it dominated Turkey, but the last phase was in the early 1990s. Coach Murat Ozyer guided Ulker Istanbul to the 2006 crown and he's put together a strong side ready to compete in the ULEB Cup. Huseyin Besok, Charles Gaines and Chris Owens bring European experience and Dee Brown comes on a mission to prove himself. Galatasaray is also off to a good start in the Turkish league. Classy Spanish side Akasvayu Girona, who won the FIBA EuroCup last season, comes to town on Wednesday. Pedro Martinez takes over the coaching reins and has to deal with plenty of expectations of possibly the fastest-rising team in Europe. The ULEB Cup debutants have started well in the Spanish League and Martinez has a great mix of veterans, including Arriel McDonald, Predrag Drobnjak and Darryl Middleton as well as promising Spanish center Marc Gasol.
