Episode 20: TTC Gone Traveling - 2025-26 BKT EuroCup Round 17

There is only one week left in the BKT EuroCup Regular Season and there is plenty of drama to come after a thrilling Round 17 of action. This week’s games were highlighted by an incredible comeback and buzzer-beater winner win by Cosea JL Bourg-en-Bresse to secure a Quarter-Finals spot; Hapoel Midtown Jerusalem surviving a massive rally to win in overtime to lock up the top spot in Group A; and Bahcesehir College Istanbul missed a chance to secure a top-two spot by losing to Slask Wroclaw again(!). The playoffs field is complete save for one team - either U-BT Cluj-Napoca or Aris Thessaloniki Betsson - though there is loads of placing still at stake.

Marco Munno and David Hein review the action from Round 17 and highlight the wins by Besiktas GAIN Istanbul - who won a massive battle over Turk Telekom Ankara; and Bourg, who had a miracle comeback to beat London Lions. They then look at top individual showings by Khadeen Carrington of Jerusalem, RJ Cole from Umana Reyer Venice, NINERS Chemnitz’s Nike Sibande and Kadre Gray from Slask.

To finish off the show, Marco and Dave preview the final regular season games in Round 18 headlined by Cluj hosting Aris Thessaloniki Betsson; Chemnitz playing at Turk Telekom; Buducnost VOLI Podgorica hosting Bourg; and Reyer at Jerusalem.
