Summary: Beshiktas - Hapoel Tel Aviv 94:73/Sport1
A month and a week since her last match in the group stage, which guaranteed her the ticket to the quarter-finals, this evening (Wednesday) she meets the Turkish Besiktas in a hot battle for the semi-finals, where the French Burke is already waiting, in the best-of-three series (without a home advantage) that is expected to start on the 26th or -March 27.
Great vigilance was registered among the Reds, who were stopped last year in the quarter-finals, and this time they are looking to take another step towards the desired goal - winning the Eurocup and getting a ticket to the Euroleague.
About 500 fans are pushing Danny Franco's team tonight in Vilnius, where Hapoel Tel Aviv is hosting the fateful match.
The big news for the Reds comes from the direction of Xavier Manford, who has finished serving his suspended sentence for the drug offense and has returned to the roster.
Gil Benny, who is injured, and Dusty Hanas, who cannot play in the Eurocup, are not in the squad, but Danny Franco has ten players at his disposal, after a long period of injuries and problems.
Hapoel Tel Aviv defeated Besiktas in February, but the Turks surprised the powerful Gran Canaria in the round of 16 and proved that they are still candidates to threaten to win.
Hundreds of Reds came to support Vilna.
