Eurocup 1 is in the books! An 8-team field from Spain, Germany, Italy, France, Israel, Austria and Switzerland took no prisoners as it jumped straight to the knock-out rounds.
James and Mark talk through Gran Canaria's weekend-long offensive clinic, the difficulties in maintaining execution when playing three high-stakes games in 48 hours, and how teams from less established leagues are able to step up and perform against stronger opposition than they are used to.
We talk through the key performances, match-ups and results that defined the tournament, as well as how quickly scouting can change with so many games played in such a short span, and how Gran Canaria may have finally made their lasting stamp on Eurocup basketball going forward.
With the tournament all dissected, our hosts pick their All-Star teams.
