My Prediction
Anadolu Efes by 8It's time to debut the sportscaster voice, ladies and gentlemen. This EuroLeague showdown features Virtus Bologna on an all-expenses-paid trip to Anadolu Efes. Bologna's record doesn't exactly inspire confidence with a less than stellar 7-20. On the other side of the proverbial basketball court, we got Anadolu Efes, sitting pretty indeed with a 13-14 record. It's not the Greek gods, but even the mortals will take it.
For the Virtus Bologna side, keep an eye out for Tornike Shengelia, he's been averaging 16.5 points per game in the past month. And we can't forget about Isaia Cordinier, who's been clocking in with an average of 14.3 points per game last month. Guess the practice court is working out for these gentlemen.
Meanwhile, Anadolu Efes' Elijah Bryant has been attacking the games like a hound on the chase, averaging 14.0 points in the last month. And Jordan Nwora, the gentleman's throwing points left and right with an average of 12.3 points per game in the last month. Efes' locker room must be buzzing with all that energy.
Going back in time like a cheap sci-fi flick, we see that Anadolu Efes has had the upper hand in their past few skirmishes with Bologna. It's like Efes has Bologna's game plan posted up on their refrigerator, at least that's what the past records suggest.
Looking at recent games, Anadolu Efes came out on top of their last match against Alba Berlin while Virtus Bologna lost to Olympiacos. The momentum's swinging more Efes' way, like a pendulum with a grudge.
Now, let's get down to the nitty-gritty, the winner. Keep your tiny violins ready for the runner-up. Without further ado, let's roll out the red carpet for...
