What a Round 11 of the 2024-25 BKT EuroCup as we saw great games, big upsets and fantastic individual performances. Valencia Basket remained undefeated, Bahcesehir College Istanbul finally lost again - to a city rival - and we are close to essentially seeing teams be eliminated from playoffs contention.

Sergio Llebres and David Hein review in depth Besiktas Fibabanka Istanbul surprising Group A leaders Bahcesehir and 7Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys upsetting Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem. Episode 13 also goes in depth about Brynton Lemar of Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana, Anthony Cowan of Wolves Twinsbet Vilnius; Zavier Simpson of U-BT Cluj-Napoca; and Ismet Akinpar of Turk Telekom Ankara.

Every week we also look ahead to next week’s action and Round 12 features a couple of massive games including Bahcesehir hosting Dreamland Gran Canaria in a battle of 9-2 teams atop Group A; Aris Midea Thessaloniki welcoming Lietkabelis in a must-win for both teams; and then two showdowns of 7-4 teams playing 6-5 sides with ratiopharm ulm hosting Wolves and Besiktas playing a road game against Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv.
