Unicaja Malaga Team News
This season, the Unicaja Malaga team showed its championship mentality, winning the Spanish Copa del Rey, defeating both Real and Barcelona.
Ibon Navaro arranged the team very well and created a compact whole where team basketball is played in both directions. Unicaja is the third offense of the league, while they score the most points at the rim in the entire BCL league. The problem for Murcia will be that Unicaja is also the fourth defensive team in the league, which plays aggressively against the opposing defenders, and above all, that pressure is exerted by Perry and Diaz. Perry contributes a lot to the attacking rhythm and forces the game into transition.
However, the main player of the team is Dario Brizuela, a local guy who signed a new multi-year contract with Unicaja, with the possibility of going to the Euroleague. The team is only as strong as its weakest link, and it is difficult to find flaws and mismatch situations in the Unicaja team.
They have only two defeats in the BCL this season, and they are very powerful and efficient at home. We should certainly mention the American Tyson Carter, who is one of the best clutch-time players in the entire league. In the final of the Spanish Cup, he hit key shots and brought his team the trophy.
Murcia Team News
Murcia is a team led by the experienced Sito Alonso, and this matchup will be a real battle between two excellent tacticians, who will impose their rhythm and who will adapt better.
Murcia is a very experienced team led by Thad McFadden, who has been one of the best defenders outside the Euroleague for years. This season, they strengthened their back line with James Anderson, who arrived from Efes and is one of the best shooters in the Euroleague for years.
However, the main link between defense and attack is the Montenegrin national team member Nemanja Radovic who, along with David Jelinek, can play quality defense and take over from 1 to 4. However, Murcia’s biggest problem is their away game.
Murcia did not have a good time this season even against any “stronger” away team. However, this is the first game of the knockout phase and the pressure will be greater on Unicaja, which Murcia can take advantage of.

A lot will depend on the very start of the match, if Unicaja enters the match without too much load and with aggressive pressing from the very beginning, we think they will win this match for sure.
