For the first time in its history, Unicaja is traveling to the Czech Republic, where it will face BK KVIS Pardubice this Tuesday (6:00 p.m., broadcasted by Teledeporte, Courtside 1891 on DAZN, and Unicaja Baloncesto Radio, live from El Quinto Quarto). The team is looking for a win to keep them at the top of Group E against a team that has a special connection to a former Unicaja player, Jiri Welsch.
Unicaja earned a hard-fought victory over a tenacious Kids&Us Manresa (72-84). The team dominated the first half thanks to their pace, but had to hold off a strong local comeback—as the home team fought hard to avoid defeat—with the help of a sensational Cameron Hunt. The American shooting guard was named MVP of the game (31 points, 2 assists, 29 PIR).
Unicaja Mijas put on a masterclass during their visit to the Grapa Municipal Gymnasium. A perfect third quarter by Javi Pérez de los Reyes’s team turned the tide of a closely contested first half. The team from Málaga held the home team to just one field goal during that stretch, turning a two-point lead into a 27-point victory.
Unicaja head coach Txus Vidorreta assesses the team’s upcoming opponent this Saturday, Kids&Us Manresa (6:00 p.m., broadcasted live by DAZN, Movistar Plus+, and Unicaja Baloncesto Radio from El Quinto Quarto). The coach warns of the difficulty of the matchup at the Nou Congost against a team that has yet to secure a victory in the Liga Endesa.
Unicaja Mijas hits the road again to play the third round of the LF Challenge. This Saturday, the 17th, at 7:30 p.m., Javi Pérez de los Reyes’s team will face Fustecma NBF Castelló, looking to get back on the winning track after losing at Martín Urbano to a strong Joventut Badalona. The main highlight of the matchup will be the head-to-head showdown between two of the competition’s top scorers, Débora Reis and Brianna Jackson.
