The Spanish side had more problems than expected in the second round of Basketball Champions League, still, they got the win.

Estudiantes remained undefeated, as the Spaniards beat Rosa Radom at home with 78 – 68.

Affected by the absence of Sylven Landesberg, Estudiantes got a bit of a scare. Three almost consecutive three-pointers for the hosts broke open the game in the second quarter (40 – 25, 17′).

Their great scoring performance seemed to be enough, but the Polish side still had a lot to say. With one quarter remaining Rosa Radom turned the tables and got the lead (57 – 58) with Mateusz Szczypinski making the difference and finishing the game with 17 points and 9 boards. Kevin Punter also contributed with 20 points but shooting 6/20 from the field.

Despite Estudiantes’ bad performance, Omar Cook controlled the tempo at the end, the hosts reacted and his team got their second win.

The key: Estudiantes shot too many three-pointers (9/30). That’s the main reason why the game was that close.

The star: Darío Brizuela scored 17 points for the winners, including 4/5 beyond the arc.
