MIES (Switzerland) - Basketball is back! Almost six months after two Round of 16 series were tied up, Wednesday will finally see them untangle and the winners will punch their ticket to the Basketball Champions League Final 8 in Athens.

Obviously the rosters of the four teams involved have changed but, interestingly, all four coaches remain in their position and will lead their respective teams into Game 3. Let's have a closer look at both clashes:
