BAXI Manresa has an opportunity to regain ground in Murcia
The last four matches of the regular season for BAXI Manresa begin in Murcia (Sunday at 6:30 PM). This final stretch will determine the standings. The coaches will decide the 12 players who make the roster.
UCAM Murcia is BAXI Manresa's next opponent, who visits the Costa Cálida eager to bounce back from their last two defeats. The final stretch of the championship is underway with the squad available and awaiting a decision on which player will be ruled out for this 31st matchday. Sito Alonso's team, with two fewer wins, is chasing the Manresa side in the standings.
BAXI Manresa travels to Murcia this Saturday to try to secure their 17th victory, which could put them back in a play-off spot, which will be very difficult at the end of the 34 regular season matches. Diego Ocampo and his staff will have to decide which 12 players to select for the final roster on Sunday at 6:30 PM. The final training sessions will have to decide which 12 players will play in the match at the Palacio.
UCAM Murcia also comes into the match eager to redeem themselves after a narrow 79-77 defeat at Hiopos Lleida. Sito Alonso's men have a core group that comes from previous seasons, led by Dylan Ennis and with many players with league experience such as Birgander, Kurucs, and Hakanson.
Diego Ocampo gave his usual press conference before traveling to Murcia. The Galician coach said, «UCAM Murcia is a very good team, with a lot of talent. They play with great intensity and have a very defined identity. They've had many injury problems throughout the season and have adapted very well. They're very competitive both at home and away, but at home their fans help them a lot. They're very experienced players; last year they finished runners-up in the league after winning the playoffs, and they have the same staff and a good part of last year's squad».
