Episode 20 of the TTC Gone Traveling podcast reviews Round 17 of the BKT EuroCup as three teams - Turk Telekom Ankara, Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana and Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem - booked their tickets to the playoffs. But five of the 12 post-season spots are still up for grabs, and what a finish we have in store. There is a four-team tie in Group A at 9-8 - Buducnost VOLI Podgorica, Besiktas Fibabanka Istanbul, ratiopharm ulm and Wolves Twinsbet Vilnius - and three teams are tied at 9-8 in Group B - U-BT Cluj-Napoca, Cosea JL Bourg-en-Bresse and Umana Reyer Venice.

Sergio Llebres and David Hein look at the biggest storylines of the latest round on the Road to Greatness - or as we coined last week the Road to Chaos. We start with Jerusalem thrashing Bourg in an unexpected dud of a highly-anticipated matchup. The Turk Telekom comeback win over Reyer was definitely worth watching. We then talk about Yogi Ferrell from Buducnost, Caleb Homesley from Dreamland Gran Canaria, Cedevita’s 18-year-old French big man Joan Beringer and Bahcesehir College Istanbul’s under-the-radar recent signing Kenan Sipahi.

To close the show, we look into the electric Round 18 bill of games, focusing on Wolves versus Buducnost, Ulm against Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv and Bourg at Valencia Basket.
