Unicaja Alhaurín de la Torre fell short in their visit to Espai Fruita Barris Nord in Lleida (82-69) in a game where they trailed from the start, though they managed to put Amara Lleida under pressure at various points. The absence of Artūras Butajevas left Manolo Trujillo’s team without a clear interior presence, while the home team found a pillar in the paint in Ibou Dabo and a constant threat on the perimeter in Pau Torrens.

Unicaja visits its closest rival in the Liga Endesa, Surne Bilbao, this Saturday (6:00 PM, broadcasted live from Le Grand Café Centro by DAZN and Unicaja Baloncesto Radio). A victory against the Basque team would allow them to open a small gap in the race for a playoff spot.

This Saturday, April 4 (5:30 p.m., broadcast on Canal FEB), Unicaja Mijas faces a unique opportunity to continue making history in the Women’s Challenge League. Javi Pérez de los Reyes’s team hosts Sernova Renovables Real Canoe with a chance to secure its 23rd win of the season, which would mark the club’s best record in the division.

Unicaja won the first game of their BCL quarterfinal series against a tough ALBA Berlin side (72-69). The team controlled the pace of the game from the middle of the first quarter, but had to overcome the tenacious German team, who managed to tie the game with two and a half minutes remaining, before closing out the game in the final stretch. Justin Cobbs was Unicaja's top performer with 13 points, 3 assists, 2 steals, and a 17 PIR. The next game is on Wednesday, August 8th in Berlin (8:00 PM).

Manolo Trujillo's team visits Barris Nord this Friday, April 3, at 8:30 p.m. to face Amara Lleida, needing a win to tie second-place Group B team Bàsquet Girona and stay in the race for a play-in spot. This is a real challenge for the Malaga team, which has yet to secure a victory away from Blas Infante in the second half of the season.
