THE TAKE

Panellinios and Benetton Bwin face off Tuesday at the Lamia Arena in Greece in a high-pressure game for a spot in the playoffs from Group L of the Last 16. Panellinios is winless in the Last 16 and hopes the home-court advantage helps it net a win to contend after two straight losses. the Greek club was undefeated in Athens during the regular season. Benetton saw a seven-game winning streak end last week at the hands of Cajasol Sevilla and will look to regain its winning ways on the road after an impeccable regular season record. Steven Smith is Panellinios’ go-to-guy with a 19 points-per-game average, the second-best mark of the Last 16, and Torin Francis has been force on the glass, ranking third in this stage with 9 boards per game and powering his team to second-best in that category. Smith scored 24 points in last week’s loss, but only guard Manolis Papamakarios was able to join him in double figures. Stefan Markovic mans the point for Benetton and will go head-to-head against Samo Udrih. They rank third and fourth in assists, respectively, in the Last 16 and should be key to the outcome of the game. Benetton’s inside players Donatas Motiejunas, Brian Skinner and Greg Brunner will need to attack the glass and keep Smith and Francis calm inside. Former Panellinios swingman Devin Smith could be the ultimate-difference maker at either end as he looks to snatch a win from his former teammates in this important Group L duel.

Quotes Head Coaches

SKOURTOPOULOS, ATHANASIOS
Panellinios BC
"We face a very difficult game and we must do everything to win. We need absolute concentration in all sectors and 40 minutes of the match. Several times this year we lost our concentration in the last minutes and it has cost us. If we want to stay in the game of qualification, we must win. There is another result for us and we need the help of fans."
REPESA, JASMIN
Benetton Bwin
"We won a beautiful game on Saturday but we spent so much energy that we didn't practice Sunday. Now, after a long trip to Greece we will be able to practice a little to prepare such an important game for us against Panellinios. We must win one road game and this could be the key game for us in the group. We want to look for the decisive step to advance to the next phase."

"To stay alive in the hunt for qualification, you must defeat the Benetton. I think it is a game that is in our measures and we can win. We very much improved compared with the start and generally in good condition. I am very happy to see again Devin Smith."

A three-pointer by Bulleri and free throws by Alessandro Gentile gave Benetton a 17-24 edge after 10 minutes. Greg Brunner scored twice down low and soon added a dunk to make it a double-digit game, 19-30, early in the second quarter. Ostojic hit free throws and Smith added a layup-plus-foul but Skinner and another triple by Smith kept the guests out of trouble, 24-35. Ryan Toolson and Joseph Krabbenhoft joined the three-point shootout but Motiejunas and an unstoppable Smith soon boosted Benetton's lead to 31-45. Another triple by Bulleri forced Panellinios to call timeout at 31-48. Krabbenhoft struck again from downtown but a jumper by Bulleri and a triple by Stefan Markovic made it a 19-point game, 34-53.

Peric followed a layup with a jumper but Smith struck from downtown and Francis got the hosts within single digits, 49-58. Bulleri and Skinner shined in a 0-5 run that gave Benetton some fresh air at 49-63. Francis stepped up with another layup, Francis and Kalatizis added free throws and a layup by Manolis Papamakarios brought Panellinios back to life, 58-64. Peric scored again but Francis shined with a put-back basket and fed Smith for a triple that brought Panellinios within 63-66. A dunk by Peric fixed the score at 63-68 after 30 minutes. Brunner scored down low early in the fourth quarter while Smith followed a jumper with a bomb from downtown that made Benetton regain a double-digit lead, 63-75, after a 0-9 run. Ostojic tried to change things with a layup but he didn't much help around. Meanwhile, a jumper by Toolson and a layup by Bulleri sealed the outcome, 65-79, with 4 minutes left. Nothing changed since that moment, as Benetton kept excelling in defense and used long possessions to run the game clock down to return back home with a quality road win.

"Benetton Bwin played very well. I have no complaints about my players. Benetton Bwin was on target in three-pointers and it forced us behind early in the score. Francis had a good day but we were unable to keep up with the score. In the last part of the game, we reduced the difference to five points and played good defense, but we did not combine it with proper fastbreaks, and that cost us. If we could have found points in those moments, we could have tried for the victory in the last two minutes."
REPESA, JASMIN
Benetton Bwin
"We had a very good first half. And we had very high levels of accuracy from the arc. Smith hada very good night and that helped us to control the pace and get a difference. Based on the image shown by both teams on the court in the first half, the difference between should have been greater for us. In the second half, we came out clearly fatigued from the travel, and Panellinios found some baskets in attack and reduced the difference. The third quarter was the worst for us. In the fourth, we improved mostly on defense and found the shots we wanted on attack. I think it's 100% fair to say that we absolutely deserved the win."

"Today we did not play well. Benetton started very strongly and took a big early difference on the scoreboard. In the third quarter, we were quite good and reduced the margin, but in the end we were not cool-headed. We made many mistakes and lost."
SMITH, DEVIN
Benetton Bwin
"We had a very good game and got the win. The match was very difficult. Panellinios B.C is a very good team. Last year, I played for Panelliniow B.C and we got to the semifinals of the Eurocup. I will not forget that season. I hope to succeed this year with Benetton."
