*FIBA requested from Shakhter Irkutsk (RUS) to play their home games in Moscow, due to long distance to Irkutsk. So Shakhter Irkutsk gave up his spot in Korac Cup. It allowed M7 (SWE) and Kouvot (FIN) do advance to the group without playing preliminary games.

“Neptunas” players lost the possibility to get into the next round of
R.Korac cup, because they lost the game against “Kouvot”. There is one
victory from 5 games in Klaipeda team account. “Kouvot” won the first time.
“The competitioners won the three pointers competition”, - R.Girskis, the
coach of “Neptunas”, characterized the match. Lithuania team’s players
threw from three pointers zone even 35 times, the masters – 30. The guests
were still wining in the beginning of the second half. “Kouvot” advantage
was 3 points, when 1 minute was left to play. Klaipeda players tried to save
themselves making fouls, but it was not successful. American R.Davis, age 25,
height 198 cm, came to “Neptunas” for 10 days review. R.Davis played in
Mexico in 1997-1998 years season. Last season the American was the member of the
team, which M.Johnson, the legend of NBA basketball, united. This team was
driving around the world and was playing demonstration games. (Gediminas)
