vs.

A direct fight for the final Eurocup regular season spot takes place in Spain, where Bizkaia Bilbao Basket hosts BC Donetsk in Game 2 of their two-way Qualifying Round series. Donetsk registered a 71-63 home win in Game 1 and therefore has an eight-point lead in the series, whose winner will make it to Group E to face Spirou Basket, Spartak St. Petersburg and Turk Telekom. The loser will play the 2009-10 EuroChallenge. Marque Perry led Donetsk in Game 1 with 18 points while Chris Owens added 17 for the winners. Artur Drozdov had a key role with 10 points - all in the second half - and 8 rebounds. Owens and Drozdov lead the Ukrainian side's frontcourt along with Bruno Sundov and Ricardo Marsh. Donetsk managed to limit All-Eurocup forward Marko Banic to just 10 points. Banic is ready to bounce back, but Bilbao has more options inside, opening the court with Damir Markota or playing more aggressive in defense with Jerome Moiso and Salva Guardia. Donetsk also needs more than scoring ace PJ Tucker to keep its options alive in the series. Javi Rodriguez, Javi Salgado and Janis Blums are ready for a big point guard battle against Perry and Andrius Mazutis. Meanwhile, Bilbao expects Chris Warren and Alex Mumbru to step up in a crucial game for the club, while Ronnie Seibutis could make the difference for the hosts. Expect a sellout crowd in La Casilla, as two very good teams battle their way to the Eurocup regular season in a very intense showdown.
