THE TAKE

Spirou Charleroi faces a difficult situation as it hosts one of the most surprising teams of the first two weeks, Buducnost Voli of Montenegro. Still winless, another home defeat would mean a 0-3 record for Charleroi and a tough struggle to get through to the next round. Buducnost lost in overtime to host Bilbao last time out and is looking for a pivotal away win. One of the teams shooting with the poorest percentage from long distance, Charleroi has also suffered in ball-handling, conceding 16 turnovers per night. Derrick Allen has contributed an average of 17 points for the home side and should be a factor under the boards in his matchup with Gerald Lee. Scoring ace Matt Walsh, who averages 19 points, will be the main threat for Buducnost and Cedomir Vitkovac will have to use all his experience and skill to stop him. Dusko Bunic, coming off the bench, was a decisive resource for Buducnost in the last game, while Spirou had just 7 points from substitutes and needs a bigger contribution from the support players.

BOZZI, GIOVANNI
Belgacom Spirou Basket
"If we still have a chance for qualification, we need to win on this Tuesday. We must prove we have the required level to go on in this competition. At the present time, we have to solve a lot of problems. My players must take their responsibilities, with more aggressiveness in defense. It's our big problem since the start of the season. Against a very good and collective team like Buducnost, we'll have to play our best basket."

"We have pressure on every game, because we need a success to stay alive. We have a problem of unconsistency but we must find solutions. Personally, I know every opponent is focused on me. I think I can manage this situation. Everybody must be dangerous if we want to have an advantage."
Nikola Ivanovic - Buducnost Voli - EC12 (photo Bilbao Basket)Impressive defense on the road lifted Buducnost Voli Podgoria to its first road win of the season, 53-66 over Belgacom Spirou Charleroi on Tuesday in Group B of the Eurocup Regular Season. Buducnost raised its record to 2-1, which could be good enough for a first-place tie before this week’s games end, while Spirou has its back to the wall with a 0-3 record. A 3-10 run over the game's last 5 minutes decided the issue for the visitors after Spirou had pulled within 50-56. That's when Nikola Ivanovic blasted consecutive three-pointers to assure the victory. Demarquis Bost hit 3 of 5 threes on his way to a team-high 13 points for Buducnost. Ivanovic added 11, Gerald Lee 10, while Cedomir Vitkovac had a double-double of 10 points, 11 rebounds. For Spirou, Nikola Jankovic scored 15 points and Justin Hamilton 10, while Matt Walsh and Jekel Foster chipped in 9 each.

A 6-2 start by Spirou didn't deter the visitors at all as Aleksa Popovic and Ivanovic quickly tied it up and Vitkovac rambled for a pair of layups that put Buducnost ahead 6-10. A three-pointer by Hamilton got Spirou back to within 11-12 and his next basket matched free throws by Vitkovac. It took Walsh hitting 1 of 2 free throws for Spirou to even the scoreboard 14-14 after one quarter. Walsh opened the second quarter with 5 points in a row to seize the lead back for Spirou at 19-16 before Marko Popovic tied it for Buducnost. Strahinja Milosevic soon put the visitors up 20-22 . Buducnost boosted the difference thanks to a three-point play by Lee and a basket by Aleksa Popovic that capped a 3-13 run with his team leading 22-29. Again, Walsh ended a quarter with 1 of 2 free throws, but Buducnost remained in control, 25-33, at halftime.

Lee gave Buducnost its first double-digit difference, 25-35, to start the third quarter. Even when Foster and Hamilton cut that with 4 quick points, the visitors recharged with 5 points from Bost to zoom ahead 31-42. Bost answered Hamilton's next three-pointer with his second in a row and then made a third from downtown in less than 2 minutes for a 38-50 Buducnost edge. The visitors' lead reached 39-52 on a free throw by Ivanovic before ageless Andre Riddick dunked and Walsh banged a jumper to finish the third quarter getting their team within single digits again, 43-52. Spirou's surge continued with 3 early baskets by Jankovic in the fourth quarter, the last of which came with a free throw and narrowed the gap to 50-56. Ivanovic saw that as his signal to take over and immediately buried 2 triples in a row from the arc, pushing the lead back to 50-62 and taking the wind out of Spirou's sails. Although Foster got one of those three-pointers back, those would be Spirou's only points over the game's last 5 minutes as Buducnost used killer defense to put the wraps around a very valuable road win.

"Sure, we are probably out of the competition. I don't have a complete roster now, with Allen's injury this weekend, and we have many problems to solve, especially inside for example. Tonight, we didn't shoot very well, but we won't give up. We'll go to Buducnost for the win next week."
RADONJIC, DEJAN
KK Buducnost VOLI
"I'm very satisfied by our defense during all 40 minutes. We were patient offensively and that’s important for the future. We have a big game in the Adriatic League in a few days and we must play at the same way. We deserve our success tonight.”

"It was a big experience for me tonight. Maybe I played a good game, but we've lost, and that is the most important. The coach helps me to improve my game and I didn't expect to play so much this season. I try to give my best, 100 percent, when I go on the court.”
