THE TAKE

Undefeat host Unics Kazan of Russia meets Stelemet Zielona Gora of Poland in a game could seal its qualification to the Last 16. That will be the case if Unics wins, although Zielona Gora can also qualify with a victory – but only if Telenet Oostende loses against Panionios. Unics won the previous game between these teams in Poland 67-74. There are very interesting matchups at power forward, with Unics' Kostas Kaimakoglou facing Quinton Hosley, while at center Ian Vougioukas and Adam Lapeta of Stelemet Zielona will use all their size in a fight between powerful big men. Mire Chatman for Unics and Walter Hodge will be the men to decide the tempo and keep together their respective teams, with Hodge having played a major role in Zielona’s big win over Oostende last week. Unics is the second-ranked team overall in two-point shooting percentage (62.9), so the guest needs to work hard on defense to protect the area near the rim.

Quotes Head Coaches

PETROVIC, ACO
Unics Kazan
"The coming game will be a tough one, since we will have had just two days after a difficult clash in Samara. The match will be a decisive one, of course. We will definitely play to win with the view to rank first in our group. Zielona Gora will not be an easy opponent though, since they are claiming for the second place in our group. We will do everything to please our fans with one more home win. To do this we will definitely need to neutralize Zielona Gora leaders, among them Hodge, Hosley and Stevic."

"The coming game against Zielona Gora will be very important for Unics. In case we manage to win it at home, we will book the first place in our group. Zielona Gora is a very interesting team, having a number of leaders in its roster. Among them Hodge and Hosley. I believe in my team and we will definitely play to win. In case we succeed, the next game in Belgium will not be very much decisive for us, and our coaching staff will hopefully let me more time on court."
Walter Hodge - Stelmet Zielona Gora - EC12 (photo basketzg.pl)Stelmet Zielona Gora survived a tough one in Kazan on Wednesday evening with a road win over Unics by 76-91 in Group F. The win lifts Zielona to a 3-2 record and it could qualify if Panionios BC beats Telenet Oostende in a later game in the same group. Unics, which was undefeated until now, drops to 4-1 but has already punched its Last 16 ticket. The guests started with a good 2-10 scoring run, but Unics regrouped and made it a close deal for most of the game. However, in the last quarter a couple of turnovers matched by points on the guests side, allowed Zielona to escape Kazan with an almost definitive win. Walter Hodge blasted 27 points to lead the winners, Quinton Hosley added 19 plus 7 rebounds while Oliver Stevic had 18 points. For Unics, Ian Vougioukas led the way with 21 points and 11 boards, Chuck Eidson added 15 points and Terrell Lyday 14.

Stelmet Zielona Gora started the game meaning business as Quinton Hosley and Walter Hodge scored 4 points each to make it a starting 2-10 for the guests. Unics reacted through Ian Vougioukas and the hosts' defense managed to keep Zielona's offense quiet for a while as Terrell Lyday hit a three for 9-14. The Polish team managed the lead during the following minutes of the period until a last dunk by Igor Zamanskiy made it 18-21 after 10 minutes. Hodge nailed a three to start the second period and give some more air to Zielona, but Unics would not let go that early. Vladimir Veremeenko and Chuck Eidson kept the three-point deficit and then Vougioukas joined in for the 29-30. Two free throws by Lyday put Unics ahead, 31-30, and from that point on, the teams exchanged baskets. The game reached the break with a 41-45 Zielona edge when Hosley slammed his 11th point before the buzzer.

The game stayed balanced and close in the first minutes of the second half also. Hodge and Hosley were the main force driving Zielona in the offensive end while Vougioukas was joined by Mire Chatman in Unics to make it 50-56. Kamil Chanas also stepped up for the guests with his points to maintain a much treasured lead, and later Oliver Stevic hit free throws for a 53-62. Eidson came to Unics' rescue with a new three, and he also put the final note in the third period with two free throws for 61-70 after 30 minutes. The Zielona defense locked in in the first half of the last period, and with a 4-4 score in 5 minutes, the difference for the guests was maintained at 65-74 until Petr Samoylenko his a three for 68-74. Again, Hodge and Hosley were keeping the guests alive from the arc but Lyday scored two free throws for 72-78 entering the last three minutes of the duel. A missed shot by Chatman gave the chance to Zielona to pull away a little more when Marcin Sroka hit a three for 72-82 and then hit a layup for 72-84. Missed shots and turnovers in Unics as the clock ticked away made the sky more clear for the guests when Stevic slammed the ball for 72-86 and one minute to go, giving Stelmet Zielona Gora a win that could mean Last 16 passage and Unics Kazan its first loss of the regular season.

"My congratulations to Zielona Gora for this win. It was a confident win, since our opponents managed to win all the quarters. They were better in all parameters, particularly in rebounds and in assists. This game was very important for us, and unfortunately we have lost it to complicate our prospects for the Last 16. Now we will have to fight hard for the first or the second place in our group. We will have to do our best to win the away game in Belgium, which might be pretty difficult with such a game. Kaimakoglou got injured during the warmup before the game and we missed him badly! However we need to recover after this sensitive defeat soon and return our chemistry and team play even without him to proceed for the ticket to the next round of the Eurocup. "

"First of all my congratulations to both teams on the quality of the game we played today. I think my team played a great game in defense and offense. It’s not a small thing to beat such a team as Unics at their home arena in Kazan. I’m very proud of my team. This might be one more extra step in the fight for the second round, which we never planned before the start of the current season, although we would like to continue surprising everyone in the Europe with our results. In the first half, we played great defense. We played tough, and we were always in front of our opponents. They had tough shots, and they were passive thanks to our good defense. We scored a lot of easy shots in fast breaks and in transition. With good defense, we blew off the pressure, which normally all teams have in offense, and this is the reason we won this game. "
