BAXI Manresa starts the final 3 away games to be in the BCL play-offs
Visit to the court of the Turkish Bahcesehir College, the last rival of the Bages team in the Congost. A victory could leave the home team out and add many chances to the Manresa team. The rival recovers Jerry Boutsiele.
Three matches that will decide the future of BAXI Manresa in the BCL. The first stop of this European trip will be Istanbul. The opponent: Bahcesehir College, who want to get their first win. Pedro Martínez's team could face the classification well this Wednesday from 18:00 (live on Esport3).
Important morale boost last weekend for BAXI Manresa. Victory in a full Nou Congost against a direct rival in the fight for permanence. The team leaves strengthened and faces now another challenge: to qualify for the next round of the BCL. Pedro Martínez has no injured players and it will be necessary to dispense with a player from the 13 to make the call.
The Turks, who were the last opponent in the BCL (Manresa victory by 90 to 72), recover their most important player: Jerry Boutsiele. The center scores 15.5 points per game and grabs 8.8 rebounds. He is being the most important player in the squad and in Manresa he could not be there due to injury. The Turks have big names like Conor Morgan, Jaka Blazic, James Gist or Jamar Smith.
Jerrick Harding and Juampi Vaulet have spoken in advance of the trip to Turkey. The American declared that «it's time to go away from home and continue making the improvements we've trained during the stoppage; they're a team with energy and they're certainly keen for revenge after we beat them here; one of their big factors is Boutsiele, he is very important for them». For his part, the Argentine pointed out that «we must continue to grow as a team, we must take advantage to continue growing and building; they are a good team, with good individual play and quality players, it's up to us to follow our line».
