The competition’s last remaining winless team, Trefl (0-6), will attempt to get on the board with a visit from the ambitious Besiktas (3-3).
Game Notes and Facts: Trefl vs. Besiktas



The Turkish team needs defensive improvement after allowing 93 points in last week’s loss at Wolves, and will hope that offensive leader Derek Needham continues his return to form after netting 19 points on 5 three-pointers in that game. Trefl is one of the EuroCup’s least efficient three-point shooting teams, making just 31.3% of its attempts from long range, but will hope that free-shooting guard Jakub Schenk maintains his hot hand after going 3 of 5 from beyond the arc last week at Bahcesehir.
