Ian Vougioukas - Unics Kazan - EC12 (photo unics.ru)Unics Kazan had its second win of the season, first at home, on Wednesdeay afternoon by beating Telenet Oostende of Belgium by 83-72. The win allows Unics to climb to a 2-0 record in Group F and has sole possession of first place precisely handing Oostende its first loss and a 1-1. Unics took control of thesituation and, little by little, kept increasing the margin until a 10-0 run late in the third quarter broke the game open for good. Ian vougioukas led the winners with his 20 points, Vladimir Veremeenko added 14 and Chuck Eidson and Terrell Lyday had 11 apiece. For Oostende, Brent Wright led the way with 15 points, Dusan Katnic and Dusan Djordjevic nailed 11 apiece and Mario Stojic contributed 10.

Chuck Eidson had a good start to the game as his early five first points allowed Unics to have a 7-6 edge soon. The other side of the coin was Brent Wright for Telenet Oostende as he soon was up to 7 points to make it an 11-11 tie. However, Unics was back on its feet fast with a 12-2 run including points by Eidson, Ian Vougioukas plus Terrell Lyday to make it 23-13, suddenly a double-digit game for the hosts. Mario Stojic tried to send a wake up call to the guests, but Vougioukas, total dominator in the second half of the period, scored 4 more points to close the quarter at 27-15 for Unics. Oostende regrouped a little with the start of the second quarter as Dusan Katnic and Wes Wilkinson hit back-to-back threes for the guests for the 29-21. Vougioukas was soon back in business with a three-point play while Wright tried to keep Oostende in the game. However, Unics managed to get back on its feet and recovered the gap as Vougioukas soon escalated to 16 points at the break for a 48-34 Unics edge at halftime despite a 1 of 6 from the arc while Oostende had 4 of 11.

The guests started the second half on the right foot with 8 fast points including 7 straight by Dusan Djordjevic, but Unics was not relaxing too much. With 54-45 on the scoreboard, Kostas Kaimakoglou slammed the ball to calm things down. Unics was still having problems from the three-point line but Oostende's percentage from the field was allowing the hosts to maintain the double-digit lead with almost no problems. Kaimakoglou hit his 10th point to make it 62-52 in minute 27. The Unics scoring run went up to 7-0 as Vladimir Veremeenko slammed it for 67-52. Kaimakoglou closed the period with a new three for the 10-0 and a 70-52 after 30 minutes. In the last period, Oostende never lowered its arms but Unics cruised to maintain the margin. The hosts even made it a 20-point game when Mire Chatman scored the first basket of the last quarter, 72-52, but Dragisa Drobnjak appeared for the guests with six points of his own for 78-60. But with less than 4 minutes to go, it was clear that Unics was out of reach for Oostende, and the hosts claimed the second win of the season to stay undefeated this season, despite late attempts by Oostende to, at least, trim the point margin at the final buzzer with a 0-10 final burst.

"It was a tough game. Congratulations to my team! I was pretty satisfied with what my players did on court 90% of the game, but the last minutes were not a success at all. The only excuse for us was we played just two days after a tough match against Khimki in the Russian championship and had just one practice after it. Telenet Oostende is a very serious team. They played in the Euroleague qualification this year. I’m pleased we collected our first home Eurocup win."
GJERGJA, DARIO
Telenet Oostende
"Congratulations to Unics Kazan for the win. Unics is a good team, a very strong one. As my player said, they have Euroleague potential. I believe next year they will play in the Euroleague. The first quarter was central in this game. Unics did a lot to build an advantage. Of course, we fought hard, though every time we succeeded in our attack, Unics came back and our every single mistake was punished. Unics won rebounds completely and this is not by chance. Unics has tall centers, while this is not so necessary for us in the Belgian League to have such players on our roster. We made a number of mistakes during the game, and I can’t remember when my team has suffered 16 turnovers last. This is a bad indicator for us and a credit to Unics’s defense."

"- Telenet Oostende is a very good team. We knew that they had a double-digit win over Panionios, so we took serious preparations towards the game in Kazan. I’m pleased we won. This is the second win in a row at the start of the Eurocup. "
STOJIC, MARIO
Telenet Oostende
"First of all, congratulations to Unics Kazan. I think it’s a great team with Euroleague potential. Today they proved that they are top favorites to win this tournament. I think the key in this game was the first quarter, where they started very strongly. We maybe showed too much respect in the first quarter, and in all the other quarters we competed hard. Unics was especially strong in rebounds, which is very important in basketball. I think we will try to learn from this game, and we will try to show a better game against this team at home. Today Unics was the better team, so they deserved the win."
