A new opportunity away from home for BAXI Manresa

BAXI Manresa left this Friday for Galicia to play the 23rd matchday of the Endesa League. Diego Ocampo's team visits the team managed by Luis Casimiro, who arrives after a deserved victory at home.

On this matchday, BAXI Manresa has a new opportunity to reach 10 victories. After losing in Granada and in Nou Congost against Murcia, in a very competitive match, the team wants to recover its strength and continue with the feeling of being able to fight for victory. The injuries and the limited situation of some players have conditioned the last matches. And for this Saturday at 18:00, Hugo Benitez will be out due to an ankle injury, while Pauly Paulicap is sick due to a virus and it is not yet known if he will be able to travel.

The blue-sky team arrive after winning at the Gran Canaria court. This season they have been more effective away from Lugo, but the Pazo is always a very complicated court. On the other hand, they have been struggling to win games at home lately, a fact that the Catalan team wants to take advantage of. The standout players are the center Danko Brankovic (11.6 points and 5.3 rebounds), the shooter Francis Alonso (14.3 points), well accompanied by the winger Keandre Cook and the guard Dominic Mavra.

The coach from Manresa Diego Ocampo held a press conference with the media this Thursday where he explained that «Breogán has great merit as a club and as a team, they have a very high performance; They have 3 very balanced interior players who do different things -shooting outside, intimidating-, Sakho who defends the pick and roll very well, Apic does a lot of dirty work and helps the team, 2 points who generate a lot like Russell and Mavra; they cause you turnovers with their activity, playing at home for them is a plus».
