Yes! Prometheus with his sword is in the “8” of Europe! Ilias Papatheodorou’s team overcame the resistance of the rabid AEK (imagine if they were not indifferent in terms of points!) and advanced to the BCL quarter-finals, where they will find out their opponent tomorrow in the draw of the competition.
The game had a lot of tension and was even stopped for a while in the 33rd minute, following an argument between Dimitris Agravanis and Linos Chrysikopoulos (see what happened here: AEK-Prometheus: Tension and stoppage in the 33rd minute and with the score at 52-61! (Pelop News)
Prometheus qualified as 2nd in the 12th Group-fire (in the other game Hapoel Holon beat Murcia 64-60) and will now give it their all in the quarterfinals with a “best of three” system and a home advantage, once morest the background the Final Four of the competition which everything points to will be held in May in Frankfurt.
THE GAME
The team from Patras, who had 3-3 in the first round and eliminated Le Mans 2-0 in the Play-In, ended the second round 4-2. She was superior at the home of AEK who fell to 0-6 and took the victory without even caring regarding the result of Hapoel Holon – Murcia (64-60). Prometheus was tough mentally, on a night in which AEK also wanted to fight for the… honor of weapons. In the final, motivation made the difference, with Hunter Hale having a good second 10 minutes and an incredible finale with 15 points in the last period and Chrysikopoulos and Etsenike supporting him.
On Thursday (21/3, 19:30 Greek time) in Geneva, Switzerland, the draw for the quarter-finals will take place, with Prometheus and Peristeri waiting to learn their opponents on the way to the Final Four. Prometheus’ possible opponents are: Malaga (Group 9), Bonn (Group 10) and Tenerife (Group 11). Home advantage will be given to whichever team is drawn once morest the home club. The series will take place in April.
