(Ron Lewis has been red hot)
CEZ Basketball Nymburk has advanced to the Eurocup Elite 8 for the first time in the club's history. Nymburk dropped their last game of the Top 16 to Telekom, but still finished 2nd in the group due to a tie breaker over Red Star Belgrade. The Czech champions turned Group L upside down when they went into the Serbia's historic Pionir Hall and thrashed Red Star by a score of 73-55on March 2nd. They entered today knowing that qualification to the next round was certain with a win over Turk Telekom, or a Red Star loss to Gran Caneria. The former did not occur, but a Gran Caneria blowout over Belgrade today officially sent Nymburk to the elite 8.#22 Ron Lewis has been pretty sharp in the month of March. He scored 17 points in the win over Red Star, 24 points in his last Czech League game, and another 17 point effort in the defeat vs Telekom.CEZ Nymburk will now play in a mini home/away playoff series vs Spanish Power Bizkaia Bilbao. Congrats & good luck guys!
