Starting this Monday, Biguá and Nacional will organize the second window of groups B and C of the Basketball Champions League Americas, which will be played at the Antel Arena and that will award two places for the quarterfinals of the contest.
National shares the group B with São Paulo and Quimsa.
In December, in Santiago del Estero, the tricolor lost 81-71 to the Argentines and 98-73 to the Brazilians, so they are forced to win their two games to take advantage of the local situation and climb the table.
On Friday, Leonardo Zylbertszteyn’s team beat Olivol Mundial 97-85, ending a four-game losing streak in the Uruguayan League, including the classic against Peñarol.
