It was the previous day, the fifth and penultimate of the Top16, which left everything decided in Group L of the BCL FIBA with the victory of UCAM over the leader and current champion of the tournament, the lenovo tenerife (82-67), and the defeat of the “men in black” in Istanbul against the Darussafaka Lassa (95-85). The combination of these two results gave Tenerife and UCAM Murcia the two tickets for the quarterfinals that the group distributed.

That European elimination of the Basque team was the consequence of his walk through that third phase of the competition, which he had reached after a brilliant first phase as group champion and avoiding the uncomfortable Play In who had to dispute the second and third of their respective groups.

But, after starting with a clear and long-awaited victory against Darüssafaka on the first day (85-75) in it Bilbao Arenathe Top16 began to go wrong for the Biscayans precisely in Murcia, receiving a serious corrective (90-72) that already kept them on the wrong foot during the rest of the days, always keeping in mind that they should probably overcome those 18 points in peephole to be in the quarterfinals.

Well, not even that, because those of Jaume Ponsarnaudiminished by the physical problems that have afflicted them in recent weeks, they missed up to two good chances that were presented to them to even be able to decide everything in their favor at home and on the last day just by winning against UCAM.

So, against Tenerife, squandered in Bilbao up to 12 points difference that had less than five minutes to go, and ended up falling a clash that went from 70-58 to 72-74 in an almost incredible way; and in Istanbul also left a good first half for nothing and the tie at 83 that they achieved three minutes from the end, to fall 95-85 and be eliminated.

So, Today those in black will say goodbye to the continental tournament against the rival who gave them the first hard blow in Murciawhere they lost by 18 points, but with a difference that was around 30.
