Referees Sreten Radovic, Milivoje Jovcic, Robert Vyklicky
Cska -
Maccabi out Miller (15 days)
Dimitris Itoudis: «Maccabi is a very talented team. They changed their game recently, they established certain roles on the team, they won the Israeli Cup last week. We have to approach this game very seriously with proper motivation and concentration».
Ainars Bagatskis: «In general everything is clear about what we have to do to win in CSKA. We can't play soft defense. Our defense and offense have to be in balance. To me, CSKA is the strongest team in Europe and statistically have the best numbers in many positions. They had more time to prepare, we're playing our fifth game in 10 days».

FENERBAHCE - OLYMPIACOS
Record 14-8 vs 16-6
Referees Fernando Rocha, Juan Carlos Garcia Gonzalez, Olegs Latisevs
Fenerbahce -
Olympiacos out Spanoulis, Hackett, Young
Zeljko Obradovic: «A very important game for us. We play in front of our fans and it's time to react, to show everything we have inside. To show the quality we have as a team and fight until the very last second. We play against a very good team that is playing really good basketball lately».
Ioannis Sfairopoulos: «For sure the game against Fenerbahce is very crucial, but it is not the most important of the season. We want to play a good game, follow our plan and not lose our focus because of the atmosphere. We must be ready for 40 minutes, not less. It is going to be a different game compered to the first one».

Referees Emilio Pizarro Perez, Jakub Zamojski, Sergio Silva
Red Star out Dangubic

Referees Emin Mogulkoc, Piotr Pastusiak, Seffi Shemmesh
Olimpia out Simon. questionable Kalnietis and McLean
Barcelona out Lawal, Ribas, Navarro, Doellman, Perperoglou. questionable Oleson
Jasmin Repesa: «The math is still giving us hope but realistically we're too far from the playoffs. It's regretful because we lost three or four games that we could have easily won, just think about Bamberg where we lost in overtime, Galatasaray where we had the potentially winning shot, Efes where we lost a game that appeared won already, even the Madrid game. I mentioned four games and two were enough to stay in contention. Now we want to do our best, win as many games as possible and develop our young players for this very high level of competition».
