The BKT EuroCup is back after the FIBA national team break for Round 9, which featured another major upset over Bahcesehir College Istanbul as we reach the halfway point of the regular season. Bahcesehir are now behind Hapoel Midtown Jerusalem and Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana in Group A while JL Bourg-en-Bresse still lead Group B with a 8-1 mark. The Gone Traveling podcast reviews all of the important storylines from Round 9 of the EuroCup.

Marco Munno and David Hein look at Bourg’s victory over Buducnost VOLI Podgorica as well as Neptunas Klaipeda shocking Bahcesehir. They also review the top individual performances by Tarik Phillip of London Lions; U-BT Cluj-Napoca’s Mitch Creek; Pierre Oriola of BAXI Manresa and Jordan Bayehe from Dolomiti Energia Trento.

NOTE: Phillip’s G-League record for points in a half of 39 came in 2019, not 2022 as Marco mentioned on the show.

To close the show, the guys look ahead to Round 10 of the EuroCup on Tuesday and Wednesday December 9 and 10 - which features top games such as Bahcesehir hosting Cluj; struggling ratiopharm ulm welcoming Turk Telekom Ankara; Buducnost taking on London Lions; and Neptunas battling Slask Wroclaw at home.

The game between Jerusalem and Hamburg will be a special one as the game will take place in Jerusalem, the first time a EuroCup game will be played in Israel since October 2023.
