The grand FIBA Europe Cup Regular Season preview
As the Group Phase begins, all of them — big clubs and small — will have ambitions of making it to the Second Round. However, with room for only half of them, only the strongest teams will prevail.
Group A

- s.Oliver Wurzburg (GER) – 9th place in the German Basketball Bundesliga
- ZZ Leiden (NED) – Runners-up of the Dutch Basketball League
- CSM CSU Oradea (ROU) – Champions of the Romanian Liga Nationala
- Sakarya BSB (TUR) – 8th place in the Turkish Basketball Super League
There are many familiar names in Group
A, but none of them competed in the Regular Season last year. In their
own unique ways, three of them — CSM CSU Oradea, s.Oliver Wurzburg and
ZZ Leiden — were already in the FIBA Europe Cup orbit, having either
played in seasons past, fallen short in the Qualifiers or even, in the
case of Oradea, both. Making their international debut, Sakarya are the
only true newcomers to the competition, who will have to learn on the
fly in order to overcome their lack of international experience.
