The 2023-24 BKT EuroCup is officially underway after a draw was held in Barcelona on Friday to divide the 20 teams from 14 countries were divided into two groups.<\/p>\n

The 18-game regular season opens on October 3 and extends through February 7. The top two teams from each group will advance directly to the quarterfinals while the second- through sixth-place teams will play in do-or-die single games in the eighthfinals against opponents from opposite groups. All post-season pairings will give home-court advantage to the teams that finished higher in their regular season groups.<\/p>\n

Group A<\/h3>\n

Group A will be headed by\u00a0Hapoel Tel Aviv<\/a>\u00a0of Israel, which made it as far as the EuroCup Quarterfinals last season in its competition debut. Next drawn was into the first group was\u00a0Joventut Badalona<\/a>, one of just two former EuroCup champions in the 20-team field. Nonetheless, plenty of firepower exists in Group A, beginning with last year’s semifinalist\u00a0Prometey Slobozhanske<\/a>\u00a0of Ukraine, which played its games in Latvia last season, and perennial contender\u00a0Umana Reyer Venice<\/a>\u00a0of Italy. Three more playoff teams from last season \u2013\u00a0London Lions<\/a>\u00a0of the United Kingdom,\u00a0Veolia Towers Hamburg<\/a>\u00a0of Germany and\u00a0Paris Basketball<\/a>\u00a0of France \u2013 are also in the Group A mix, while\u00a0Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana<\/a>\u00a0looks to bounce back from a rare subpar season. Meanwhile,\u00a0Besiktas Istanbul<\/a>\u00a0of Turkey returns to the EuroCup after seven seasons away and recently founded\u00a0Wolves Vilnius<\/a>\u00a0of Lithuania will make its Euroleague Basketball debut in the 2023-24 EuroCup!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

Group B<\/h3>\n

Defending EuroCup champions\u00a0Dreamland Gran Canaria<\/a>\u00a0will be the team to beat in Group B, where it was selected first as the top seed. The Spanish club has an eclectic mix of challengers headed by the team it beat for the title last season,\u00a0Turk Telekom Ankara<\/a>. New German champion\u00a0ratiopharm Ulm<\/a>\u00a0and perennial Montenegrin titlist\u00a0Buducnost VOLI Podgorica<\/a>\u00a0follow in this group, which also features the return after seven seasons of Greek standard-bearer\u00a0Aris Thessaoliniki<\/a>, a onetime EuroCup finalists back in 2006. Two more teams that had playoff runs in the EuroCup last season,\u00a0Mincidelice JL Bourg<\/a>\u00a0en Bresse of France and\u00a07Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys<\/a>\u00a0of Lithuania, make this group tougher, while three who fell short last season —\u00a0Dolomiti Energia<\/a>\u00a0Trento of Italy,\u00a0Slask Wroclaw<\/a>\u00a0of Poland and\u00a0U-BT Cluj-Napoca<\/a>\u00a0of Romania — will try to do that much better in the new one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
