Quarterfinal analysis: Dynamo Moscow vs. Hemofarm Stada
Two of the most successful teams all decade in Europe's second competition will square off in this promising quarterfinal. Dynamo Moscow of Russia won the 2006 ULEB Cup and placed third last season, while Hemofarm Stada of Serbia is a two-time semifinalist at this level. Their roads to Turin were quite different, but both overcame obstacles to reach the Final Eight. Dynamo underwent roster changes prior to and during the Last 16, but followed leaders like Bostjan Nachbar and Travis Hansen to finish as the Last 16's only undefeated team. Hemofarm lost one of its signature players early in the season, but got behind young stars like Milan Macvan and Stefan Markovic to survive do-or-die battles at the end of both the regular season and the Last 16. Although age separates their rosters from each other, Dynamo's veteran lineup and Hemofarm's youngsters share the same ambition going to the Final Eight in Turin - the Eurocup trophy.

Quarterfinal Analyst
SERGEY BYKOV
As one of Russian basketball's top young stars, Sergey Bykov has tasted major success already in his career: a ULEB Cup title in 2006 and Eurobasket 2007 gold with Russia's national team. Bykov was key, too, during Dynamo's undefeated march through the Last 16 despite losing two point guards just beforehand. Now, he hopes to contribut to a new Dynamo success. "You have to give it all in that first game," he told Eurocupbasketball.com.
Quarterfinal Analyst
NEBOJSA JOKSIMOVIC
Hemofarm is a classic team in Europe's second competition, having reached semifinals in 2005 and 2006. Among its most experienced players is guard Nebojsa Joksimovic, in his fourth season with the club. Joksimovic is aware that Dynamo is the favorite in their quarterfinal. He also knows that Hemofarm downed Dynamo in similar circusmtances back in 2005. "We shouldn't feel that pressure," he says.
