Euroleague Top-16

The draw for the Euroleague Top-16 took place in Barcelona on Monday. The teams were divided into 4 groups. The top 2 teams of each group will progress into the quaterfinals with the ones who have claimed top spot having home advantage in a best-of-three games format.

So let's check out the groups:

GROUP D

  • Tau Ceramica
  • Maccabi Elite
  • Pau-Orthez
  • Lottomatica

GROUP E

  • CSKA Moscow
  • Olympiacos
  • DKV Joventut
  • Partizan

GROUP F

  • Panathinaikos
  • Winterthur FCB
  • Efes Pilsen
  • Prokom Trefl

GROUP G

  • Dynamo Moscow
  • Benetton Treviso
  • Unicaja
  • Aris TT Bank

Groups E abd F seem the toughest to me, cause in both of them, 3 out of 4 teams have realistic chances in progressing. But at this stage if you underestimate a team you might pay it dearly.
If i had to pick the teams which i think will reach the quaterfinals, i would go with:

Tau Ceramica
Maccabi Elite
CSKA Moscow
Olympiacos
Panathinaikos
Winterthur FCB
Dynamo Moscow
Unicaja

One is for sure.. We’ll enjoy some great basketball

I'll leave u with week's 14 highlights:
