The Cinderella story of BC Oostende concluded in the final without a happy end. The hosts, Lietuvos Rytas, got the 75-66 win in the qualifying round final and also the ticket to the upcoming season of Euroleague. Oostende, like Varese, EWE Oldenburg, VEF Riga, Nymburk, Banvit and Khimki will participate in Eurocup and they will know their opponents after Saturday’s draw.

As it was proven, the home court advantage gave enough edge to Lietuvos Rytas in order to get the win. The key was the third quarter with a partial score 24-13 in favor of the Lithuanians. For the second straight night former Olympiacos player and Euroleague champion Martynas Gecevicius was the top scorer of his team with 19 points on 4/9 three pointers, “Gece” also triggered a 11-2 run in the start of the second half that practically decided the game.
