Another good example of ULEB's incompetence. In UEFA The teams seeds are based on previous achievements of past year competitions. All numbers, all counted and all known. While with basketball clubs with no record like Ventspils enter the first seed before much more successful clubs. Why? just because one Euroleague qualification? Why was Aris drawn against Maroussi, why two teams from the same country? this is all obvious to anyone here (Marrousi lack of appeal towards ULEB) but still stinks of being rigged.

Imagine the opinion about ULEB us, Rytas fans have, when a team being more successfull and having a bigger fan base than half of euroleague teams, is being constantly relegated to Euro/Uleb cup for God knows how many years now, just because Lithuania is 'to small of a market to have two euroleague teams'.

I just wonder is there any place on the Earth when ULEB is loved ?

http://www.eurocupbasketball.com/ is supposed to provide live info about the draw . At least it's the only excuse to have both ULEB web sites down for an hour before

There's none.

How can you respect somebody, who doesn't even stick to his own rules.

I so hate draws ...

[Billy Bounce]

Draw is completed

Intersting groups, I have to say

Group B, for example:
Le Mans
Hemofarm
Triumph
Valencia

Jerusalem is also blessed with nice group:
Aris
Zadar
Siauliai
Hapoel

I dunno too much their rosters, but name-wise kinda strong group

[Mindozas]

Very hard draw for Šiauliai Don't see almost any chances to qualify to next round, probably 1 or 2 wins at home at best

Group D, by far, is the "Death".
