Battle of the Titans in Surgut
On Saturday and Sunday (March 25 and 26) two home games of the "University-Ugra" took place in the sports complex "Energetic" (Surgut). The beginning of the matches was at 17:00, live broadcasts were conducted on the local television channel “Surgut-24” (the television and radio company “Surgutinternews”).
Our team in the first two quarterfinal play-off games could not provide a decisive advantage over the team from Revda. First game delighted the home fans: the final result was 89 ÷ 85, means very important triumph of the hosts! Only a day later, there was an “unpleasant” rematch: guests won in thriller-final (an accurate three-point shot in the last second of the match!) and the final score of the game was 64 ÷ 67.
Both events justified the expectations of the true lovers of basketball. Constant result-tension and unexpectable finish until the last second of the game - it is a summary brief of the two great parties of both teams.
The most efficient player in those two games (in both teams) was the Captain of the "students" Nikola Lepojevic (31 points in the first game and 25 points in the second). For the guests from Revda, the most efficient player was the giant center Sergey Karaulov (16 points in the first and 24 points in the second game).
The play-off serial moved now to Revda - there will be two games (29th and 30th of March). If the rivals exchange the victories again, the fifth game will be held in Surgut (2nd of April).
