U-BT Cluj-Napoca începe aventura europeană la Roma. Campioana României debutează în Palazzetto dello Sport

U-BT Cluj-Napoca will begin its European journey in the EuroCup against Maxima Roma on September 30. This match marks the team's first official game of the season and their fifth consecutive appearance in the EuroCup. Maxima Roma, a newly established team in the Italian league, recently lost to Napoli Basket. Despite their loss, they have experienced players, including Matt Ryan and Aaron Holiday. U-BT will be without Uros Plavsic and Otis Livingston II due to injuries. The team has prepared with six friendly matches, winning three. In the new EuroCup format, U-BT is in Group B, aiming for a top-four finish to qualify for the knockout stage. Coach Mihai Silvășan emphasizes the need for intensity against a competitive opponent.
