THE TAKE

Artland Dragons can advance to the Eurocup Last 16 with a victory at home in Group G over BC FMP, which still holds very slim chances of moving on. Head coach Thorsten Leibenath's Artland earned a huge victory by knocking off Fortitudo Bologna 93-89 on the road and improving to 2-3. Both of Dragons' victories have come against Bologna which gives the German side the tiebreak over Fortitudo. Against Bologna, Artland hit 71% from inside the arc as well as 12 of 26 (46%) from beyond it. Artland also went to foul line 27 times - 23 makes for 85% - compared to 17 of 27 (63%) for Bologna, which also struggled with 6 of 20 (30%) from long range. Forward Adam Hess poured in 27 points, while center Darren Fenn hit for 22 points and guard Lamont McIntosh had 19 points. Guard Drew Neitzel collected 10 points and 8 assists in picking apart the Fortitudo defense. And that proved enough for Leibenath's team. Dragons however was walloped by FMP in Week 2 93-65, as it made just 39% from two-point range and just 2 of 16 (12%) from long range while getting out-rebounded 43-24. The game also featured a combined 78 free throws. Artland is not that bad and if Hess can others can deliver, the Dragons Last 16 fairytale from last season will have a Part 2. FMP meanwhile needs a minor miracle to advance. Head coach Milovan Stepandic's Serbian team would need a victory over Artland by more than 33 points and a Pamesa win over Bologna. FMP dropped to 1-4 after losing 84-65 at home against Valencia. Stepandic's men allowed Valenica to make 48% from long range and hit 21 of 30 (70%) free throws compared to just 12 of 18 (67%) for FMP. FMP also committed 21 turnovers, many coming in the third quarter as Valencia out-scored FMP 26-6. Forward Dragan Labovic nailed 5 threee-pointers in scoring 26 points and guard Mladen Jeremic hit for 16 points. But no other FMP player scored more than 7 points. Stepandic will need to get more help for Labovic if FMP hopes to live on in the Last 16.

Darren Fenn - Artland DragonsThe Artland Dragons of Germany managed to make it to the Last 16 for the second consecutive season as on Tuesday night they defeated visiting BC FMP by 73-62. The win allows the Dragons to improve their record to 3-3 which grants them second place in Group G, as they had defeated Fortitudo twice already and would win all possible ties with the Italian team. The Dragond will land in Group L of the Last 16. Meanwhile, BC FMP drops to 1-5 and finished last in the group. The game featured both teams scoring runs in turns, but the Dragons kept the upper hand thanks to an inspired Darren Fenn, who Fenn led the winners with his 20 points. Lamont McIntosh added 15 and Adam Hess posted 14. For FMP, Nikola Ilic had 19 points and Predrag Samardziski added 12.

The Artland Dragons got off to a 13-2 start as Adam Hess scored 9 of those points. But FMP soon showed that it wasi n Germany to try to win the game, or at least, to make it hard for the hosts to get a victory. A 0-11 reaction led by big man Predrag Samardziski quickly led FMP back in the game to tie at 13-13. Darren Fenn stopped the bleeding with his own basket but this time, FMP wouldn't allow the same situation of the start of the game happen again. Fenn again though, sealed the outcome of the first period with a three-point play for 18-15. Lamont McIntosh slammed the ball for the Dragons starting the second quarter for a 5-point lead, and he soon scored again to seal a starting 8-0 that earned the Dragons a new double-digit lead, 27-15. Nikola Ilic stopped the avalanche this time with a layup for 29-17 that started a 2-10 burst by the guests. FMP kept punishing the rim of the Dragons in the final plays of the first half through Dejan Musli and Filip Covic to make it 36-33 at the break.

The second half started way more balanced and FMP even took control of the situation as Ilic's basket put the guests ahead, 40-42. However, Dirk Madrich stepped up for the Dragons as he led a 9-0 reaction together with McIntosh to put the hosts back in command, 49-42. Madrich was still the go-to man in offense for the hosts, but Samardziski re-appeared after some minutes for FMP to score two free throws that closed the scoreboard at 53-50 after 30 minutes. The last period stertd like the first and the second, with the Dragons taking control with a 13-3 starting run led by Hess, Madrich and Fenn to make it 66-58 for the hosts. Drew Neitzel joined the scoring party of the hosts as FMP found itself struggling in offense with 2 of 15 three-pointers, even though the Dragons were shooting 2 of 13 also. Samardziski hit new free throws in what could be the last chance for FMP to get back into the game, 68-60 in minute 39. Fenn replied to that with a three and Neitzel had a new layup to make it 73-60 as the fans went into a frenzy.

LEIBENATH, THORSTEN
Artland Dragons
"I am very happy for my team and the club. The Dragons advandced to the Last 16 last season, but in this hard group we could not be sure to take three wins out of six games. FMP is an excellent team, but it was good for us that they were missing two important players, Labovic and Lazic. Anyway, this was one of our best performances defensively. And offensively we played a little smarter than against Frankfurt in the German League last weekend. I am happy that we advanced to the next round and will compete with three attractive opponents."
STEPANDIC, MILOVAN
BC FMP
"Congratulations to the Dragons. We rebounded better than the Dragons and we stopped their three-pointers. But we shot very poor and had a lot of turnovers. That were the reasons why we lost this game. I also want to congratulate the Dragons to their home crowd. The fans had a great performance, too, and were cheering for their team the whole time."

"This was a huge thing for us, a building block for the team. I have never been to the next round, neither in the Euroleague nor in the EuroCup. It is a big thing. The reason why we won was our defense. We never had problems scoring in our games, but today we got together as a team on defense and made the stops. We know that we have the talent to be one of the top four or five teams in the German Leageu. But we took some games for granted. In our heads we have to think the same way in the German League games as we do in the EuroCup games."
