The debut for the Manresa team in this round, announced this Monday by the organization, will be the first of fourteen games they will play in Group A, which features the top eight teams in the competition. This will be the second time Real Madrid visits Nou Congost this month, following the victory they achieved on January 3.
Nacho Juan's squad will repeat six opponents from the previous phase, adding Gran Canaria and Burgos. To qualify for the Final a Sis (Final Six), scheduled for May, the team must finish among the top six classified teams in the group.
It is necessary to be among the top six to aspire to reach the Final Six.
The top four teams in Group A will directly access the Final Six, while the fifth and sixth teams will have to play a play-in against the top two teams from Group B, where teams like Valencia and Unicaja have been relegated.
After the home debut, Baxi Manresa will play two consecutive away games, visiting Joventut's court on January 23 and Gran Canaria's on January 30. The first round will include hosting Barça Atlètic and CB Canarias Tenerife, and will conclude on April 18 at Congost against Casademont Zaragoza.
