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.

The next games of the two teams: On the 18th and final day of the game, Prometheus will play Maccabi in Tel Aviv (March 28, 8:00 p.m.), Paris will host the London Lions (March 28, 9:30 p.m.).

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 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.
