<\/p>\nThe Semi-Final pairings of this season’s FIBA Europe Cup were decided on Wednesday night, upon the conclusion of the Quarter-Finals stage.<\/p>\n
Italy’s Unahotels Reggio Emilia will go up against Bakken Bears of Denmark in one Semi-Final tie, while ZZ Leiden of the Netherlands will face Turkey’s Bahcesehir College in the other.<\/p>\n
In Wednesday’s return legs of the Quarter-Finals\u00a0Reggio Emilia and Bahcesehir emerged victorious at home, against Legia Warszawa and Sporting CP respectively, to make it two-out-of-two wins, albeit the Italian side needed overtime to bend the resistance of the Polish visitors.<\/p>\n
Bakken also won both games against CSM CSU Oradea but punched their ticket in more eye-catching fashion as they prevailed 70-61 on the road, after earning a slim two-point cushion at home last week.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, ZZ Leiden prevailed 85-77 over HAKRO Merlins Crailsheim at home, to wipe out a three-point defeat in the reverse fixture in Germany.<\/p>\n
Bahcesehir and Bakken had reached the last four of the FIBA Europe Cup also in the 2019-20 season, which was curtailed due to the pandemic. The Danish team also made the competition’s Semi-Finals once before, in the 2017-18 season.<\/p>\n
Reggio Emilia are the only club in this Semi-Final field to have celebrated the conquest of a European title, as they were proclaimed EuroChallenge 2013-14 champions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Semi-Finals will be played in home-and-away games and both first-leg encounters are scheduled to take place on Wednesday, March 30.<\/p>\n
The return-leg games are set to tip off a week later, on Wednesday, April 6. The two teams that emerge victorious from the Semi-Finals will clash for the 2021-22 title in the Finals, which will also be played over two legs, on April 20 and on April 27.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
