Poland - PGE Turow Takes Control of League Standings

(The Zgorzelec Crew - PGE Turow - Poland - 2011)

The 2011/2012 Polish League season is an interesting follow for inquiring fans. Club Asseco Prokom has dominated Polish Basketball in the last decade (7 straight titles). But what appears to be a down year for Prokom coupled with several formidable league teams has us beliving that the champs might finally be dethroned this season.

With Asseco Prokom currently playing in the VTB Regional League & Euroleague, PGE Turow, last year's runner up in Poland, has quickly assumed the top spot in the league standings. Following the Euroleague Qualifiers, Turow opened Polish League play in promising fashion with a current four game winning streak. A hard fought opener against Kotwica (76-74 - 10/8/2011) seemed to springboard Turow into the right type of form as they would roll their way past PGE Basket (by 12 - 10/12/2011), Slask Wroclaw (by 21 - 10/15/2011), & Zastal (by 7 - 10/18/2011).

Former Buckeye Dallas Lauderdale is seeing reserve action so far for this strong Turow team (averages about 15mins per in Polish League play). Dallas contributed 6 points, 2 rebounds, & 2 blocks (in 15 mins) in the win over PGE Basket on October 12.
