Basketball Champions League Quarterfinals Game 1 Preview

By Johnny Askounis/ info@eurohoops.net

Eight contenders lining up for intense battles in the Quarterfinals of the Basketball Champions League. A best-of-three series will decide teams in the Final Four of the 2023-24 campaign. Homecourt advantage belongs to the group winners of the Round of 16.

The double-double king, Joe Ragland, is as close as he gets to setting yet another record, becoming the first player with eight double-doubles in a single season of the BCL. Peristeri bwin reached the Quarterfinals for the first time in team history to face the homecourt advantage of defending champions Telekom Baskets Bonn.

Tofas returns to the Quarterfinals after being swept by Lenovo Tenerife in 2021-22. The Canary Islands outfit would love a repeat to set the pace in qualifying for the Final Four for the fifth time in team history and from there to perhaps capture a third Champions League title.

A fourth appearance in the Quarterfinals for MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg starts with a fourth BCL meeting opposite UCAM Murcia. In a roster move, Michael Hughes II was released last week after a brief stint with the German club.

Tipping off another best-of-three series, Unicaja hosts Promitheas. A third consecutive berth in the Quarterfinals for the team coached by Ibon Navarro versus a first appearance in team history for Ilias Papatheodorou’s side.
