All throughout the day we will be checking our phones for updates centering around three games of special interest. The biggest game on Saturday, February 13th will take place in Koszalin, Poland at around 2 pm U.S Eastern Standard time when George Reese & AZS Koszalin attempts to slay league leader Asseco Prokom . Prokom is the undisputed powerhouse club of Poland. The defending Polish league champions are currently running roughshot over the PLK with an undefeated 19-0 record, they also have a 2-1 in the Euroleague top 16. AZS Koszalin (10-9) is coming off a nice victory of PGE Turow. George Reese had 17 points & 8 rebounds vs Turow, he will need to match or even exceed that effort for Koszalin to have a shot at knocking off Poland's best club.
Earlier that night or day, depending on your location, Jamar Butler & Olympia Larissa (4-11) will attempt consecutive victories in a road contest against Trikala (4-11) in the Greek League. Larissa enjoyed a 87-78 win over Ilysiakos on Feb. 6th. Jamar Butler had 17 points & 4 assists. Larissa defeated Trikala by two points on November 7th, 2009.
The 3rd game we will have out eyes on will be between EWE Baskets Oldenburg & Bremerhaven in the German BBL. Bremerhaven is a solid club at 14-8 (5th in the league) that is capable of playing with the top tier squads. They have won 7 our of their last 8 games. Oldenburg & guard Je'Kel Foster (15-6 tied for 2nd place) simply want to keep pace with Goettingen (15-6) & current league leader Alba Berlin (17-4).
