The ULEB Cup. The die is cast 1 july 2007

Saturday evening in Jesolo took place the 2007/2008 ULEB Cup draw. BC Khimki had learnt his regular season opponents: SLUC Nancy (France), D.Bank Skyliners (Germany), Anwil (Poland), Pamesa (Spain), Azovmash (Ukraine).

By the results of the Regular Season (when each team will play with each other both home and away) the top three (3) placed teams from each group and the five (5) best fourth placed teams will move to the next phase. In sixteenth-finals and eightfinals the teams will play both home and away, with the overall cumulative score determining the winner of the round. The winners of the eighthfinals will play the Final Eight in a city to be defined. The decisive round will pass on 10-13 April 2008.

Kestitis Kemzura, the BC Khimki head coach:
— I am satisfied with the draw results. The opponents are strong, but are not too hard for us. In more detail now to discuss about it is difficult, we should wait till teams will be made up. In any case we respect each opponent. But we will orient to our game. On it will depend the results.
