Apoel's big man, Prodoromos Petrides is well known from his presidency in Apoel football. During the summer he agreed to take over Apoel basketball.
In early September and after forming a strong board with people who are deeply involved in the sport, had sailed for adventure.
Apoel's year is already successful since the team finished 2nd on the board in the regular season, but mainly because it advanced in the last 8 of the Eurochallenge.

Apoel's big man, Prodoromos Petrides is well known from his presidency in Apoel football. During the summer he agreed to take over Apoel basketball.
In early September and after forming a strong board with people who are deeply involved in the sport, had sailed for adventure.
Apoel's year is already successful since the team finished 2nd on the board in the regular season, but mainly because it advanced in the last 8 of the Eurochallenge.
Eurobasket.com has contacted Mr. Petrides for an interview which will probably take place in the next few days.
Why did he choose to take over Apoel and whether he is happy with what his team has succeeded so far, are only a few of the questions he will be asked.
Stay tuned in the next couple of weeks!

Christopoullos takes Apoel to the last 8 of the Eurochallenge! - Mar 11, 2010 (by Dr. Nasios Orinos)
In a historical game Apoel won Buducnost by 81-76 to clinch the second spot in Group K of the EuroChallenge and advanced for the 1st time to the Last 8.
Apoel had a few big plays when for example under four minutes to go, a big triple by Michael Mokongo tied the game and Apoel never looked back. Apoel was also impressive at defense.
We need to note that after a couple of bad months, Apoel seems to put its self together. The last few games it has been playing good basketball

We need to note that after a couple of bad months, Apoel seems to put its self together. The last few games it has been playing good basketball. It seems to BE BACK!
Apoel's team has a very strong roster and we believe it is capable for great things.
The victory against Buducnost was a team effort with most players being in a good night.
Lewis Sims led the way with 17 points and grabbed 8 rebounds, Brandon Heath added another 15, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, while Hughes Rick notched 14 and grabbed 8 rebounds.
Great game by Michael Mokongo who delivered 5 assists, had 2 steals and added 9 points.
Sullivan Phillips (196-F-79, college: Columbia Union) had 5 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.
Dozet had 3 assists, 1 steal and 8 points.

Cyprus League Playoff Predictions - Mar 8, 2010 (by Nima Siar)
With the regular season finished, we now have a look at the matchups for this year's playoffs. The surprise of the season so far is InterCollege Etha Engomis who is riding a 6-game win streak going into the playoffs. The Nicosia team who is getting solid play from both Anthony King and Ken Tutt, was able to sneak past Keravnos Strovolou to claim the #3 seed in the playoffs. We can expect to see a semi-final series between APOEL and Etha who split the season series 1-1

With the regular season finished, we now have a look at the matchups for this year's playoffs. The surprise of the season so far is InterCollege Etha Engomis who is riding a 6-game win streak going into the playoffs. The Nicosia team who is getting solid play from both Anthony King and Ken Tutt, was able to sneak past Keravnos Strovolou to claim the #3 seed in the playoffs. We can expect to see a semi-final series between APOEL and Etha who split the season series 1-1. Although APOEL is starting to play to their potential again, it would not surprise fans if Etha could pull off the upset and creep into the finals.
The otherside of the bracket appears to be a little more predictable as Keravnos is the only team that might stand in AEL's path. With AEL officially knocked out of the Eurochallenge, we can expect them to try and show fans who the best team in Cyprus is.
Predictions:
Quarter-final #1: AEL bye
Quarter-final #2: Keravnos def. Apollon 2-1
Quarter-final #3: APOEL def. AEK 2-0
Quarter-final #4: Etha def. Achilleas 2-0
Semi-final #1: AEL def. Keravnos 3-1
Semi-final #2: Etha def. APOEL 3-2
Final: AEL def. Etha 3-2
Good luck to all teams and players! Also, congratualtions to Keravnos for defeating Achilleas 71-65 over the weekend to claim the 2010 Cyprus Cup.
