Qualification Rounds Gameday 2 by the numbers

(Basketball Champions League) – The first week of the qualification race has concluded, four teams have secured a spot in the Regular Season and only four remain up for grabs. It’s time to take a look at some figures that stood out in Thursday’s action.

48 - Points by Antabia Waller in two games against Igokea. A huge warning sign for all teams in Group D, Mornar's sharp-shooter is an early candidate for the top scorer honours.

7 - Assists by Dru Joyce, the assist king of Tsmoki Sportlist, just in the first half. Joyce finished both games against Rilski with a BCL-high nine assists to his name and he will keep dishing out in Qualification Round 2.

5 - Three-pointers made by Filip Adamovic on Thursday, a new BCL high. Adamovic and U-BT Cluj Napoca eliminated Petrolina AEK Larnaca and Usak Sportif is up next for them in Qualification Round 2.

2 - Centimetres that separated SL Benfica and Varese after 80 minutes of basketball. Derek Raivio's buzzer-beater was a two-pointer, as his foot was inside the line, meaning Varese advanced to Regular Season by a combined score of 145-144.

2 - Players with a double-double in the second leg. Dominykas Milka had 16 points and 10 rebounds in Tartu's 65-57 win over Donar, Andre Jones had 14 points and 10 rebounds in Prievidza's losing effort against CSM CSU Oradea.

1 - Field goal allowed by Juventus Utena in the second quarter of their 77-59 win over FC Porto. Stifling defence by the Lithuanians who showed a completely different effort to the one in the first leg in Portugal, where Porto had scored 81 points.

0 – Fast-break points scored by BC Tartu. Who needs running anyway though, considering that Tartu still managed to hold Donar Groningen to just 57 points, enough to advance to Qualification Round 2 and set up a date with Bakken Bears.
