It is fair to say that one major focus of the Eurocup's next phase will be the Eighthfinals C series between two of the four previous Eurocup champions, Khimki Moscow Region and Valencia Basket Club. Their series is also a rematch of the exciting 2012 Eurocup title game that Khimki won 77-68 on its home court. It's no surprise that these two past champions and Eurocup heavyweights are also the top two teams this season in performance index rating: Khimki ranks first with an average of 108.6 per game, while Valencia is second at 99.6. Khimki arrives with a 15-game Eurocup winning streak , the longest in competition history, and its season-long dominance manifests itself with two more top rankings: 87.2 points and 23.6 assists per game. A two-time Eurocup champion, Valencia has no problems scoring either, ranking third with 85.9 points per game, while leading all surviving teams in three-point shooting (44.1%). With both teams having great depth, with at least four players each who average double digits in scoring, Khimki vs. Valencia promises to be a mouthwatering matchup between two favorites to go far in the competition!
