THE TAKE

Panellinios BC and Galatasaray Café Crown square off on Tuesday night with very different outlooks in Group E. While undefeated Galatasaray could mathematically qualify for the Last 16 with a win in Athens, the home team needs to win to keep pace with the winner of the Gasterra Flames/Bennet Cantu matchup, as they all share the same 1-2 record midway through the regular season. Panellinios could well be tied for first if it had won at Istanbul in their previous game, but Galatasaray confirmed its status as the top candidate to advance to the next round, thanks to 19 points by Josh Shipp on 7-of-8 two-pointers, and 15 more from Tutku Acik. Veteran big man Djuro Ostojic was again an important piece for Panellinios, has he tallied 15 points in the paint, while guard Manolis Papamakarios added 10. Ermal Kuqo and Luksa Andric have proven to be an imposing one-two punch at center for Galatasaray, so Panellinios will need to provide some sort of backup help for Ostojic with its backcourt featuring Papamakarios, Georgios Kalaitzis and Vasilis Xanthopoulos. High-scoring power forward Radoslav Rancik, should still be the main offensive option for Galatasaray, even though he has struggled a bit to find his touch of late. Talented forward Evren Buker can also pick up the slack, while Panellinios is hoping for a big game from Maurice Bailey at the guard spot in order to better their 53 point total in Week 3, the lowest mark of all 16 games played.

"The way things stand in the group, whoever gets three wins at home will have advantage for qualifying. We want to defend our unbeaten record at home and hopefully the fans will fill the stadium to watch a great match. Galatasaray C.C is the strongest team in the group and it is going to be a very tough game."
Manolis Papamakarios - Panellinios BC (photo Panellinios)Panellinios BC boosted its Last 16 hopes and handed visiting Galatasaray Café Crown its first loss of the season with a 66-62 win on Tuesday. Manolis Papamakarios and Joe Krabbenhoft each recorded 15 points and 6 rebounds to pace Panellinios, which held off a late Galatasaray rally to get to 2-2 in the standings. Panellinios hosts Bennet Cantu next week in an important game for the Last 16 race. Samo Udrih added 10 points for the winners. Josh Shipp and Preston Shumpert scored 18 points apiece for Galatasaray, which is now 3-1 and hosts GasTerra Flames in Week 4.

Krabbenhoft got things started for Panellinios with a triple before Luksa Andric accounted for Galatasaray’s first points. Shipp’s first two baskets gave the visitors their first lead, 7-8, but in no time Papamakarios and Maurice Bailey put Panellinios back ahead and Rado Rancik’s free throw made it 11-9 at the 10-minute point. Evren tied the score at the start of the second quarter. It stayed even as Papamakarios and Tutku Acik traded threes and played out like that until halftime, with nearly every basket forcing a lead change – 10 in total in the quarter – before Shipp’s second chance basket lifted Galatasaray to a 26-28 halftime edge.

After Papamakarios tied the game early in the third quarter and Shipp and Bailey traded threes, Krabbenhoft connected twice from downtown to make it 37-31. Shumpert answered with a triple as Galatasaray stayed close behind. Acik cut the gap to 1 and Ermal Kuqo tied the score at 42-42. Krabbenhoft and Papamakarios put the hosts back up and Djuro Ostojic made it 48-44 at the end of the quarter. Ostojic and Papamakarios pushed Panellinios to 53-45, but Galatasaray never gave up the fight. Kuqo and Shipp scored clutch baskets, but Papamakarios countered with a dagger-like triple. Shumpert put a fright into the local fans when his three made it 63-60, but he missed his next try from behind the arc and Ostojic and Krabbenhoft sank free throws to restore a 6-point edge and wrap up the victory.
