Meanwhile Cedevita is in its first Eurocup campaign, but has impressed so far. The teams boasts tremendous experience on the sidelines, with Unics led by Evgeny Pashutin, who coached CSKA Moscow to last season’s Euroleague Final Four. Cedevita coach Aca Petrovic is a former Euroleague winner as a player and also coached in the Euroleague, as has Gran Canaria boss Pedro Martinez. Read more here.
