Quarterfinal Playoffs 2010
|
 The
road to the 2010 Final Four in Paris saw eight more teams get off at
the end of the Top 16 and only eight remain for the Quarterfinal
Playoffs. One of them will be the new Euroleague champion on May 9. But
first they need to get through the best-of-five playoffs! Of the teams
that have stayed alive this far - Regal FC Barcelona, Real Madrid,
Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv, Partizan Belgrade, Olympiacos Piraeus, Asseco
Prokom Gdynia, CSKA Moscow and Caja Laboral - each Final Four since
2005 in Moscow has featured at least three of them! And the 2006 Final
Four in Prague featured four – CSKA, Maccabi, Laboral and Barcelona – a
foursome that could potentially reach Paris together! Among the
quarterfinalists are Euroleague champions from five of the last seven
seasons. Together the eight of them have won a whopping 21 Euroleague
crowns overall. The matchups also offer a lot of significance. Spanish
League super rivals Barcelona and Madrid square off again in the
quarterfinals just four years after Barcelona bounced Madrid from the
same stage. Maccabi, which won its first Euroleague crown in Belgrade
in 1977, also faced Partizan in the 1988 Final Four. Meanwhile CSKA
will try to extend its record run to an eighth consecutive Final Four.
Its opponent, Caja Laboral, looks to return to the party after a year
away broke its own string of four in a row. Laboral and CSKA met in the
semifinals in both 2005 and 2008, each winning once. Meanwhile Asseco
Prokom reached the last eight for the first time in club history. The
Polish champs look to make waves against Olympiacos, itself aiming to
get back to the Final Four for a second straight season. Check schedule here.

About Euroleague
|
The
Euroleague (EL) is the highest level and most important professional
basketball competition in Europe, with teams from twelve different
European countries. The competition is operated by ULEB, a Europe-wide
consortium of leading professional basketball leagues. Asian clubs from
Israel and Turkey are also part of the system.
The league usually, but not always, includes domestic champions from
the leading countries. Depending on the country, places in the
Euroleague may be awarded on the basis of:
Performance in the previous season's domestic league.
Performance over the previous two or three domestic seasons.
Contracts with ULEB.
In addition, the winner of the previous season's Eurocup receives a place.
For example, two 2007-08 domestic champions from ULEB member countries
did not compete in the 2008-09 Euroleague—Zadar (Croatia) and Hapoel
Holon (Israel). Zadar played in the second-level Eurocup in 2008-09.
Hapoel Holon, however, did not compete in any of the three European
continental club competitions—not even the third-tier EuroChallenge
(which is run by FIBA Europe instead of ULEB).
