Disappointing loss.

Every few years this happens to Hapoel Jerusalem, when it appears for a new season full of expectations and is dismissed in the first phase.
This has happened to her five times in the last decade in the EuroCup, and tonight (Tuesday) also in the Champions League: the Reds received the much-needed help from Turk Telecom Ankara, who beat Igoka, but failed themselves - losing 88:83 to the disinterested Limoges, who have already lost a chance to reach the top 16. And finished their way.
Since joining the factory, Jerusalem has always been considered one of the favorites to win.
Although she did not reach the semi-finals, she was among the standout teams in the early stages.
This time it did not happen: the ticket to the next stage was in her hands more than once, and she was not able to get it.
It started with an unnecessary loss to Iguoca in Bosnia and Herzegovina, sharpened by a 19-point loss at home against Ankara, and reached its climax tonight - when the weakest rival appeared without the standout star (Philip Scrub, 18.4 points per game), and that was not enough to win.

"It hurts," said guard Chris Kramer.
"One of the worst things that can happen in basketball is that you are not dependent on yourself. In the end, we are the ones who did not do our job, and we must be better. Limoges has performed without its best player statistically, and when that happens, then the others take a step forward." .
Coach Dainius Adumatis: "In basketball we need to stay focused, and tonight we made too many mental mistakes in the defense against Limoges' shots. We were not disciplined enough on both sides of the court."
