THE TAKE

Spirou Basket (2-3) and Artland Dragons (1-4) both hope to finish out their Eurocup competition on a high note as they face off in the Last 16 Group L. Both teams have been eliminated from contention for the Final Eight as Spirou's record is 2-3 and Artland's 1-4. Head coach Drazen Anzulovic's Spirou gave up its last chance to advance by losing 77-56 at Lietuvos Rytas. The Belgian champion was held to just 45% shooting from two-point range and 28% on three-pointers while watching L. Rytas win the rebounding edge 39-28 and force 19 turnovers. Little went right for Anzulovic's team, which also went 11 of 18 (61%) from the free-throw line. No Spirou player scored in double figures with guards Jonathan Tabu and Jerry Johnson leading the way with 8 points. Spirou hopes to snap its three-game losing streak and will face Artland, which it knocked off 82-94 on the road in Week 2. Artland turned the ball over 22 times in that game to offset some hot shooting by both teams. But Artland Dragons will have some extra incentive to finish the Last 16 strong after posting its first win of the campaign, beating iurbentia Bilbao 84-79 at home. Head coach Thorsten Leibenath's German team held Bilbao to just 6 of 30 (20%) from three-point range and used a distinct free throw advantage to secure the victory. Playing without center Darren Fenn, forward Adam Hess scored 17 points while forward Chad Prewitt and center Darius Hall both tallied 13 points and center Dirk Madrich added 15 points and 6 rebounds off the bench. With his team struggling in the German BBL League, Leibenath would love to see his team post a second consecutive victory for some extra confidence. Monday, March 09, 2009 Eurocupbasketball.com

Quotes Head Coaches

ANZULOVIC, DRAZEN Spirou Basket "In spite of our defeat in Lithuania, I hope my players will understand my message finding motivation against Artland for our last European game this season. I'm globally satisfied by our run even if we missed two crucial games. We had a good reaction this weekend in the Belgian League with more confidence for Wes Wilkinson. Len (Matela) had some personal problems and the team played for him."

I have played with Sacha Massot on the same team in Belgium and played against Andre Riddick and Len Matela."
