Gran Canaria – Prometheus Patras 91-72: Bow to Spanish supremacy
Gran Canaria didn’t give Prometheus Patras the slightest chance to challenge his supremacy, clinching a comfortable win (91-72) and dropping Yiannis Christopoulos’ side to sixth place in Group B.
Prometheus Patras is one of the two teams that Gran Canaria won in the EuroCup this year. However, on Wednesday night, January 18, he was unable to repeat the feat he accomplished three months ago after knowing the defeat at the Gran Canaria Arena (91-72).

Thus, in Group B, Prometheus dropped to 6th place while Gran Canaria remained in 1st place.

The race
The hosts came onto the field furiously, accelerated and quickly took a double-digit lead – as they constantly ran in the switching game. Mistakes and missed shots on the edge essentially restricted Prometheus Patras, who was only able to make up the deficit to ten points (41:31) by the break.
Essentially, however, zero in the quotient. Gran Canaria didn’t lose control of the situation, getting a lot from Damien English and, with an excellent function in the attacking part, managed to keep a safety margin throughout the second half. This is exactly why the Spanish lead increased significantly, reaching +19 (75-56) in the 34th minute. To write the epilogue of the game at this point.

Anthony Cowan worked wonders as Prometheus defeated Paris (84-81) to secure home field advantage early in the EuroCup knockout round.
After all, Prometheus secured fourth place in his group in the EuroCup with his home win against Paris (84:81) on the 17th day of the group stage of the competition.
The Patras team rose to 11-6 and left the French 10-7 while beating them twice, meaning a possible draw would prevail after the 18th and final day of play.
Prometheus will thus move into the EuroCup KO round with home advantage in the round of 16, but also with the aim of continuing this year’s good European course to the best possible annual final.
Anthony Cowan had an incredible performance (38 points and the big 3-pointer for 84-81 in 4.1″) to fill the void left by John Thomason’s injury and the truth is he’s almost alone Played against anyone who had extremely high stats at the same time.
Paris struggled without Kyle Allman, lined up with nine men and fought with nine, excellently with Tyrone Wallace but also very much alone for much of the game.
The EuroCup KO round begins with the round of 16 on April 12th.

Prometheus welcomes Paris (7.30 p.m., Novasports Prime and LIVE from Sportish) to the 17th (penultimate) matchday of the EuroCup with the goal of a win that secures at least 4th place in its group while also securing home advantage in the stage of 16 of the event.
The most important game of the season for Prometheus in Europe is today (22/3). The Patrinos welcome Paris (7.30 p.m., Novasports Prime and LIVE from Sportish) on the 17th (penultimate) day of the EuroCup in a much decisive game.
If Prometheus wins, they will secure at least fourth place – and thus home advantage in the round of 16. It is recalled that 8 teams from each group will qualify based on a behavioral system for the next stage where qualification for the Quarterfinals will be determined by the logic of knockout in a single game. In general, the first 4 of each group play with the well-known crosses (1-8, 2-7, 3-6, 4-5) for home qualification.
Prometheus had won the first round match in Paris (71-74), which means that with a win it is at least 4th place. There are also scenarios that can put him in both 3rd and 2nd place depending on the results of Hapoel Tel Aviv and Turk Telecom who are above him in the rankings.
However, before Prometheus jumps into the final race scenarios, he wants to secure at least 4th place first, which will happen if he wins today. Otherwise, if they lose, they will be out of luck on the final day of play and will likely finish 5th.

Prometheus stuck in London due to air traffic controllers strike, first available flights on Sunday
Air traffic controllers’ involvement in the general strike has left Prometheus stranded in London after the London Lions game, with the first available flights scheduled for Sunday. Half of the squad will try to return with the coach.
Prometheus pulled off a great win yesterday (3/15) against the London Lions on day 16 of the EuroCup in London, but that win has already… turned sour. The reason; Patrinos are stuck in London over air traffic controllers taking part in the general strike and the next flight for which tickets are available is scheduled for… Sunday (19/3)!
According to the new data presented, tomorrow (17/3) half of the team will try to return by bus (a 14-hour journey) via Bulgaria, and the other half as soon as tickets become available.
It is recalled that Prometheus is scheduled to host AEK for game 19 of the Basket League on Saturday (18/3, 7:15 p.m. ERT3) with all options currently open.
