ASK Riga - Benetton Treviso

Last round of ULEB Cup group stage and Latvian champions ASK is hosting Benetton from Italy. ASK still stands a chance to qualify to next round of ULEB Cup, slight one but still they have as one of the 5 best 4th placed teams. In this case they have to win and hope that Kiev will beat Artland which is very likely and hope for lucky results in other groups....

ASK welcome back Jahovics and Buskevics who did not play in Pau Orthez game which ASK eventually lost by 2pts at the very end. Their captain S.Valters and A. Sanders will be game time decision. Motivation will be huge for Latvian team and they will do everything to win this game in front of home crowd. If Valters and Sanders will play I am almost sure they will win this game but without them I still believe they should be favourites with Benetton team who already have qualified from group.

First game in Italy ended in low scoring 73-63 win for italians but it was more ASK who lost that game. They were leading by 10 in 3rd quarter but then Valters got fouled out and their offense just stopped (they were still without Millage then). ASK will try to play slow pace game I guess as they usually do with hard defence trying to force hard shots from oponents. ASK plays well at home and if they will have full roster they should win this one as I don`t rate them weaker team as Benetton.

Expect low scoring game with hosts winning at the end.. :)

My prediction: 76-67
