Buducnost VOLI Podgorica was in control of the game against Dolomiti Energia Trento from the opening stages of the first quarter, but it was a 0-18 run in the third that dealt a decisive blow to the home team and allowed the visitors to clinch a 64-85 victory.
A 94-76 loss at Besiktas Fibabanka Istanbul in Round 1 was followed by a narrow 86-89 overtime defeat at home to Dreamland Gran Canaria in their last game despite Buducnost looking significantly improved in Round 2.
“After the bad luck [we had] in Round 2, we had to react and I think we reacted really well,” head coach Andrej Zakelj told EuroLeague TV after the game against Trento. “When we are focused and relaxed, we can play great defense and then if defense is good, offense is good too.”
After taking a 35-42 lead into the second half, Buducnost’s defensive display in the third quarter was exemplary. The visitors kept Trento to just 9 points and went on a 0-18 surge that allowed them to secure a 44-65 cushion heading into the fourth, where they extended that run to 0-21 with a Fletcher Magee triple. As many as six players netted at least 2 points each during that run, with Yogi Ferrell standing out.
The Buducnost guard netted a game-high 21 points, having gone 6-for-8 from inside the arc and 3-for-4 from deep in just over 26 minutes on the floor. In his post-game interview, Ferrell admitted that their 0-2 record provided them with the incentive to push for a road win in Italy.

Magic Moment: Biligha swats Niziol!
“It was a great game from the entire team,” Ferrell told EuroLeague TV. “We knew we needed to get our first win in the EuroCup. We were extra-motivated tonight. We came into this arena, playing against a great team. We did a great job of staying together, listening to the coach’s game plan and we came out with the win.”
After recording its first victory in EuroCup this term, Buducnost will look to build on its momentum by stunning Bahcesehir College Istanbul on the road next week. The task will be anything but easy, but the third quarter against Trento could serve as a springboard for greater things this season.
