A victory against the group's bottom team, Carolo (3-7), combined with a prior win by Prague (6-4) over Schio (6-4), would guarantee Uni a place among the top six teams in Europe for the final phase, scheduled from April 15 to 19 in Zaragoza.
“"We have to win no matter what. Regardless of what Prague does. If they deliver, much better, but if we don't win, we don't care what the other team does. It is our responsibility to win, and if we are paralyzed by pressure, we won't deserve to go to the Final Six."
This is the second opportunity for the Girona team, which fell 85-74 against the Italian side last week. Coach Roberto Íñiguez, who is seeking his tenth European final phase appearance, emphasized the importance of focus and adhering to the team's philosophy.
Carolo, despite having no chance of qualifying, recently surprised Bourges (65-59). The French team has recovered Maia Hirsch and signed Liliana Banaszak. For Uni, Mariam Coulibaly, who was MVP of the round and of December before her injury, recently reappeared against Gran Canaria.
Separately, season tickets for the Copa de la Reina, which will be held in Tarragona from March 26 to 29, sold out in minutes following the preferential sale to participating clubs. Spar Girona is the only Catalan team participating and will face Avenida in the quarterfinals.
