BAXI Manresa wants to confirm trend with the visit of UCAM Murcia

BAXI Manresa added its seventh victory in the Endesa League on Thursday, but with less than 48 hours to go it has another match, now at the Nou Congost. UCAM Murcia, a team with a solid block that last season reached the final of the league, will visit the Manresa court.

The Manresa team returns to Manresa this Friday to try to recover and prepare for the UCAM Murcia match, a duel that will determine the positions before the end of the first round. Mario Saint-Supéry is in doubt. The Malaga point guard sprained his ankle while training in Lugo and it remains to be seen whether he will recover well enough to try to play tomorrow. Guillem Jou is in the final stages of recovering from lumbago and will still need training before being able to play.

UCAM Murcia arrives after losing to the league leader, Unicaja. Sito Alonso's team is 12th with 6 wins, one less than BAXI Manresa. They have a solid team that has been there for a long time, with players like Dylan Ennis and Rodions Kurucs, but also players in the paint like Brodziansky and Moussa Diagne. They are all players with experience and knowledge of the Endesa League. The former Manresa point guard Dani Garcia is also in the squad.

Diego Ocampo said in statements prior to this match that «UCAM Murcia is a very high-level rival, not only because it was the finalist of last season, but because it maintains the same team from last season and plays from memory; we must prepare ourselves to play a very difficult match; we hope that our players and the fans will be infected and that there will be a good synergy to be able to play our style, the atmosphere does a lot».
