Behind 31 points from Randy Culpepper, Krasny Oktyabr Volgograd registered its second consecutive victory, downing CAI Zaragoza on the road 71-82. It not only improves Oktyabr to 2-2 record in Group I but it gives it a season sweep of CAI which led for most part of the first 25 minutes, before the visitors took the lead for good with a 0-9 run late in the third quarter. In the fourth, Culpepper and Romeo Travis took matters into their own hands, scoring 16 of Oktyabr's 25 fourth quarter points, and leading it to victory. Travis amassed 19 points plus 14 rebounds, and Lamont Hamilton chipped in with 10 points in victory. Rasko Katic scored 11, while Marcus Landry and Henk Norel each had 10 in defeat.

Team traded leads early on, as Travis and Culpepper hit triples for the visitors and 6-10 lead, but Kevin Lisch, Rasko Katic and Pedro Llompart gave CAI 14-13 after 10 minutes. In the second quarter Chris Goulding scored 5 points, and Marcus Landry had a basket-plus-free throw on a fastbreak to give the hosts 27-20. Henk Norel scored twice more inside for CAI, but triples from Artem Komissarov, Culpepper and eventually Lamont Hamilton helped Oktyabr cut it to 33-32 at halftime.

Culpepper and Cuthbert Victor kept the visitors within a single points early in the third, but Lisch, Jason Robinson, Landry and Katic all scored from close range for 47-42. But Oktyabr responded with a basket from Hamilton, and back-to-back triples from Culpepper for 47-51, and Travis nailed a three to make it 52-57 after 30 minutes. Llompart got the hosts within 58-59, but Culpepper hit a triple, then assisted Victor for 58-64. Landry scored twice for CAI, but Culpepper had a basket-plus-foul, and Victor a triple for 65-72 with 2 minutes to go. Jason Robinson had a layup giving the hosts hope, but Travis and Culpepper sealed the deal.

"As always, congratulations to our opponent for winning tonight's game. I feel a little sad right now because we didn't expect this loss. It is true we have not been playing well but we had a good start. We played good defense in the first half and could have broken the game if we were a bit more inspired on offense. When the team is not confident, if they score a couple of baskets and get the lead, things are more difficult for us. Our team had a great attitude, as always, and is working well but when you are not confident, it shows on offense. We lost, they played better. We are missing a lot of good shots. I would be more worried if those were tough shots, out of system. The team is working well together and this is a complicated moment for us. When you play well on offense, it gives you more confidence to do better on defense, but that didn't happen tonight."

"We beat a very good and very well-coached team today. Our guys did what they had to do. We knew that we had to be patient. We knew that we had to do a good job against their three-point shooters and be real consistent for 40 minutes. In the fourth quarter we made big plays, big shots. When you do that, anything can happen. "

"We knew we were going to come in here and it was going to be a battle, a tough game. We just wanted to come in here, play together as a team and that’s exactly what we did. Last game we failed as a team, we played individually. We watched film, we talked about it and today we played as a team. "
