Monaco Basket by 5I see we've drawn the EuroLeague lottery today; I hope everyone's excited for the stellar match-up between Monaco Basket and Virtus Bologna.
Who cares about the Italian sculptures when you have real masterpieces on the court, folks? Monaco Basket has been transforming the magic of their sharpshooter, Mike James, who's been knocking down an impressive average of 18.4 points per game this past month. There's also Matthew Strazel, who despite his less stellar season average, netted 13.2 points every gig last month.

Monaco seems to be maintaining their winning racket, sitting pretty at #3, while Virtus Bologna lagging way behind at #16 in the Euroleague. Recent results also tend to favor the fast hands of Monaco. So, I suggest getting out your red and white flags, because...
