In the match in Spain’s Canary Islands, Karşıyaka Basketball came back from a 15-point deficit under the leadership of McCollum in the last period, despite the referees’ biased decisions, a very low percentage of 5 out of 23 in 3-point shooting, and not being able to get the expected contribution from Boutsiele and Jefferson. Although the green-red team managed to take the lead in the last period against their strong opponent, who was last season’s finalist in the Champions League, they could not avoid being defeated by the controversial foul whistles of the referees. Karşıyaka Coach Ufuk Sarıca was also disqualified with two technical fouls.
With this score, Tenerife, which made it 5 out of 5 in the group, guaranteed the leadership and a direct place in the last 16. Karşıyaka, which could not overcome its opponent as in the previous matches, missed its chance to take the lead. Our representative will continue his way in Europe at the Play-In stage for the fourth time in a row and try to get his name among the last 16 teams. The Izmir representative, who will play their last match in the group, where they have 3 wins and 2 losses in 5 matches, will play away at Saint Quentin in France on December 18, and will fight to maintain their second place and gain field advantage in the Play-In. Karşıyaka will be paired with one of the teams in Group D, Galatasaray, Rasta Vechta or Promitheas, in the Play-In stage of the Champions League.
