THE STAKES

Lukoil needs to grab the win against Oostende combined with an Asvel loss in Valencia to force a do-or-die game against Asvel next week. Telenet Oostende is still winless and will be hungry to record a victory. Academic eked out the win in Belgium, 65-66.

THE TAKE

Two low-scoring teams, averaging 63.8 and 61.3 ppg, respectively, that shoot a relatively low 25% or so from beyond the arc. Both have tough and well-organized defenses, so the team with the best offensive effort is likely to win. Veterans Todor Stoykova from Lukoil and Veselin Petrovic from Oostende will be called on to lead their respective sides. Interesting matchup at point guard between Brandon Heat and Jason Rich.

Telenet Oostende scored its first win of the Eurocup season by outlasting Lukoil Academic 77-83 in a thriller that went down to the final minute in Sophia. The visitors led late 69-76, but Lukoil stormed to within 1 twice in the final minute. However a crucial turnover down 2 with 18 seconds left rued the hosts and Chris Booker iced the Oostende win from the line with 12 seconds remaining. The win lifted Oostende to 1-4, but the team had already lost any hope of reaching the Last 16. Booker paced Oostende with 18 points and 7 rebounds, Kennedy Winston added 15 points, Veselin Petrovic scored 13 and Dragisa Drobnjak 11. Lukoil dropped to 2-3 and could be eliminated later Tuesday if Asvel beats Valencia. Bruno Sundov paced the home team with 14 points, Bozhidar Avramov scored 13, Todor Stoykov 11 and Brandon Heath tallied 8 points and 7 assists.

Stoykov dunked to give Lukoil an early 6-2 margin, but a Petrovic three made it 6-5 and Heath hit from downtown to make it 14-9 late in the quarter. Pavel Marinov and Booker exchanged baskets for 17-16 and with 12 seconds left, Damian Stojanovski hit a deep triple to finish the first quarter at 22-18 for the hosts. Quentin Serron scored for Oostende to open the second quarter. Then the teams exchanged buckets and a layup drained by Drobnjak made it 31-30. Avramov hit a three, but Drobnjak tied the score at 34-34. Petrovic found easy points in the open court for Oostende’s first advantage, 36-38. Another basket from downtown by the veteran Serbian guard fueled the guests to 37-43. Then Lamont Mack went all the way and Dusan Sakota from the free throw line made it 39-45 for Oostende at halftime.

Winston extended the difference to the double figures, 39-49, early in the second half and after a three-point-play completed by Drobnjak, it was up to 41-52. However the hosts responded with an 8-0 run capped by Andre Owens close the gap to 3. Djordjevic and Booker with a jumper from mid range established again a bigger advantage for Oostende, 49-57. Djordjevic nailed another jumper and Bruno Sundov made free throws to get to 52-29. A three-point-play by Winston answered by Avramov from beyond the arc to make it 55-61 before a Kenney jumper made it 55-63 through three quarters. A booker triple boosted the lead to 9 again, but Sundov went to work inside with a pair of baskets – the second after a battle on the offensive glass – to close within 61-66. After Avramov brought the hosts within a 3, Petrovic canned a triple. But the Heath-to-Sundov connection worked for two more scores and a 67-69 scoreline. Winston and Booker fueled the visitors back to 69-76, but Lukoil wasn’t done. Avramov nailed a triple, Stoykov scored in transition and soon Heath made it a 1-point game with 1:04 remaining. Djordjevic and Heath exchanged free throws for 77-78 with 19 seconds to go. Winston was sent to the line and only made 1, but a turnover damaged Lukoil’s chances and Booker iced the Oostende win from the line with 12 seconds remaining.

"Oostende got a well-deserved win. Our defense was weak in the second half. That gave Oostende an advantage and allowed them to calm down. That was the main reason that made us lose the game. "
GJERGJA, DARIO
Telenet Oostende
"Congratulations to my players. They showed great character in tough moments. We didn’t give up at any time and I’m very proud of that. We were close to win some games but missed the chance to do it, but now we finally won. "
