Date: March 6, 2012
We should mention about the upset which took place in Alicante, where higher ranked Meridiano Alicante (13-10) lost at home to tenth ranked Valencia Basket (12-11) 65-70. The guests took control from the first minutes by winning first half. But Meridiano Alicante won third quarter 23-13. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. American forward Niklas Caner-Medley (203-83, college: Maryland, agency: Beo Basket) orchestrated the victory by scoring 18 points and 9 rebounds. International power forward Victor Claver (207-88) contributed with 8 points and 7 rebounds for the winners. Four Valencia Basket players scored in double figures. Valencia Basket's coach Velimir Perasovic allowed to play the deep bench players in such tough game. Naturalized American power forward Lamont Barnes (208-78, college: Temple) answered with 15 points and 9 rebounds and Bulgarian forward Kaloyan Ivanov (205-86) added 12 points and 8 rebounds in the effort for Meridiano Alicante. Valencia Basket moved-up to seventh place, which they share with 3 other teams. Meridiano Alicante lost fourth consecutive game. They dropped to the fourth position with ten games lost. They share it with Unicaja and Lagun Aro GBC. Valencia Basket will play against league's second-placed Real Madrid at home in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Meridiano Alicante will play against CAI Zaragoza and hopes to get back on the winning track.
